Pottery Class Registration

​Clay is a wonderful medium that marries hands-on sculpture with color and painting. Learn how to throw clay on the wheel and how to hand-build. Classes are offered for every skill level. Class tuition includes clay, glazes and firing. All classes include limited open studio time for students to work on projects between classes.
​

The best way to secure your seat in a class is to register online. Use the links below to find out more about the classes being offered and to register online.

*Please note that we are a community art studio.  All participants must be willing to clean-up their work area and tools used after their class and/or open studio times.
