Want to leave with a functional piece of art that you can use in your home or give as a gift? Check out one of our handbuilding classes! In these beginner friendly classes we will work at the table, following a template to make a functional piece together. They are social and fun and leave lots of room for creative exploration and expression!

Want to get muddy and messy and try something new? Throwing on the potters wheel is a blast! In this class we encourage students to focus more on learning and trying their best over leaving with something functional. We will try our best to make something together but the pressure of making a perfect piece in two short hours can take away from the fun of learning something new!
