Have you ever wanted to try the pottery wheel or have ceramic skills that you'd like to develop? If you're looking for a date night idea or a night out with friends, we offer hand building and wheel thrown ceramics classes from 2 to 6 weeks to suit the needs of adult students at all levels. We alternate from introductory classes to advanced workshops. If you don't see what you're looking for give us a call to inquire about future classes. We also offer kid camps periodically throughout the year!
