ADULT- 3- WEEK WORKSHOPS

These workshops are for those with little or no experience in clay. They are designed to introduce you to the basics and the best way to start working with clay. It helps to take the Intro handbuilding class even if you are interested in the pottery wheel.

Our class sizes are kept small so that sessions can be structured around the individual student.
