Pottery Classes -
Can’t handle the heat?! It’s okay summers are really hot in the glass studio and pottery is a great intro before diving into the heat of the glass. Our focus will be the potter’s wheel but we will cover other hand-building techniques in multi-week classes.
Rates start at $75 for a one-day class and $200 for multi-week sessions.
We offer fun, hands-on classes for individuals or small groups (1–3 people, we have 3 wheels!), including popular date night sessions!
One-day class (2 hours) – perfect for trying it out - Multi-week courses – build your skills over time
Classes include clay, tools, kiln firing, and glazing - Easier scheduling and setup compared to glass
Easier scheduling and setup compared to glass. Message us directly to book a session that works with your schedule!
