Pottery Classes

October-December Registration
Now Full

Classes are informal and kept small (6 students max during COVID) to allow instructors to provide each student with individual attention as needed. Classes are 3 hours long, and extra studio time is included for all classes during open studio hours at no extra charge. Open studio is held on Tuesdays from 4-10pm and Saturdays from 12-8pm. Classes are open to students age 15 and up or to students 12 and up if a parent is also taking the class.

Classes fill up quickly. It is important for you to secure a space if you plan on joining a class.

Classes with fewer than four students may be cancelled. If a class is cancelled, students would be able to join another class or could receive a full refund.

Inclement Weather Policy

Unless otherwise announced on our home page all classes will occur as scheduled. We will place any cancelation notices on our Facebook page and home page and will make every effort to notify students via email.
