[Mondays] March 6-Week Pottery Course

Overview

This 6-week pottery course is perfect for anyone looking to start a new hobby, refine their skills, and meet like-minded people! You'll create functional, personalized pieces while learning both wheel throwing and handbuilding techniques. Classes meet Mondays from 6:30–8:30 PM (March 2, 9, 16, 23, 30). Glazing is scheduled 30 minutes before each class (6:00–6:30 PM). Pickup is typically about one week after glazing; pieces are held for 60 days after firing. Courses are kept small, at 13 students. Most students finish 5–6 final pieces (maximum of 6 to ensure kiln space). All tools and materials are included, with the option to purchase a personal tool kit for $20.

Refund Policy

Non-refundable 5 days before the start. A $25 cancellation fee applies before this. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult who is also enrolled in the course.
