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 will be offered for every skill level.  

Classes will start once we are in our new location.  In the meantime, please email us to join the Pottery list so that you'll get the news hot off the press!

Open Studio

Experienced potters are invited to use our equipment and kilns for independent projects.  Open studio time can be purchased as a "class," but truly, you are on your own!  Your time includes clay and kiln time.  
​For more information contact create@artcentervb.org

Amenities/Our Glazing Room

We mix our own glazes and have a wide array of equipment and tools.  

How to Become an Instructor

We are looking for instructors who are patient, student focused, and use demonstration as their main instructional technique.  To become an instructor, please email us and tell us about yourself and what you would like to teach.

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
