Pottery Night Out

Join us for a fun and engaging 2-hour pottery class designed especially for beginners! Our focus will be on wheel throwing. We’ll kick things off with a quick demonstration to cover the basics. After that, you’ll dive right into the hands-on experience of throwing clay on the wheel. Each student will receive three pieces of clay to work with, giving you plenty of opportunities to practice and create. At the end of the class, you’ll choose your favorite pot for us to finish, glaze, and fire, included in the class fee. If you fall in love with more than one of your creations, you can keep additional pots for just $10 each. Come ready to get messy, have fun, and discover the joy of pottery!
