Children to adults, beginners to experienced, we are ready to help you learn the language of clay. Our classes turn beginners into makers!
Pottery painting and glazing is the decorative stage of ceramic making, where you add color and surface design to a pre-made stoneware piece that has already been bisque fired. Students select a ready form that has been hand-made by our in-house artists, then paint with underglazes and specialty glazes, and practice techniques such as layering, wax resist, and even coverage while learning how glaze chemistry and firing transform a painted bisque piece into a finished, functional work.
* one 2-hour session
Hand building is a foundational pottery technique where you shape clay entirely by hand—without a pottery wheel—using simple methods like pinching, coiling, and slab construction. Students learn to form functional pieces such as bowls, mugs, and small sculptures by pressing, rolling, and joining soft clay, developing essential skills in clay handling, texture, and form while discovering the creative freedom of working directly with the material.
* Two two-hour sessions 1 week apart.
Wheel throwing is a core pottery skill where you center and shape clay on a spinning potter’s wheel to create balanced, symmetrical forms. Students practice essential techniques such as centering the clay, opening the form, and pulling up the walls to make functional pieces like cups, bowls, and cylinders, while building coordination, control, and an understanding of how centrifugal force and hand pressure work together to transform a lump of clay into refined pottery.
* Two two-hour sessions 1 week apart.
