Classes + Workshops

In this creative and fun 10-week course, adult students learn all the basic skills of pottery making through hand-building, wheel-throwing, and a variety of decorating techniques. Spring classes will start during the week of April 20th. This class is designed for beginners, no prior experience with clay required.

Starting with a study base, participants will learn to pinch pots, texture clay and attach clay pieces together to make the parts of a wind chime. Participants will learn to play with colour, carve with intention, and explore texture to make a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

This class is designed for potters wanting to understand the basic theory of glaze chemistry as well as starting their journey in the wonderful world of glaze formulation and testing.
