Pottery
We are reopening the beloved pottery program that was once run by the City of Virginia Beach!
Our fully equipped pottery studio will allow you to explore your creativity with this lovely hands-on medium. Skilled instructors will take students of any ability to the next level.
Pottery Classes 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.

Why we love the Pottery Studio...
“I have been a pottery student for about 20 years. I have made some wonderful friends and gained a world of knowledge about more than just clay. This is a fabulously versatile and creative outlet for coping with the stresses and losses that life offers. We have each other and our passion for creating from clay.” Barbara Bloom
