Classes
Beginning and Continuing Wheel
Ready to focus on the wheel? This course is designed for those who want to dive into the fundamentals of wheel throwing and build strong foundational skills. You’ll learn the core techniques step by step—centering, opening, pulling walls, and shaping forms like cylinders and bowls. As the class progresses, you’ll also be introduced to trimming and refining your pieces, along with glazing to complete your work. This course is a great start if you are interested in learning on the wheel with plenty of guided practice and individual support along the way. We welcome those who have never thrown on the wheel or worked with clay, along with those with experience who just want to get back into it.

Give it a GO!
“Give it a GO!” is a one time event that is a relaxed, beginner friendly introduction to working with clay. After a studio tour and orientation, you will spend the session getting your hands on the clay and experiencing the pottery wheel. And no experience is necessary—just curiosity and a willingness to get a little muddy! If you throw a piece that you cannot part with, we can offer you an additional firing fee.
Hand Building Fundamentals
We will explore pinch, coil, and slab building to create forms, then utilize surface decoration techniques to add color and texture. Students will learn how to create dynamic surfaces using stamps, carving, decorative slip and underglaze work, stencils, sgraffito, and more! Instructor: Rossana Naum-Stoian
Form and Function: The Art of Handbuilt Vessels
Join ceramic artist Jen Stark for a hands-on workshop exploring the art of handbuilding functional vessels — bowls, dishes, and forms made to be used and loved. Working without the wheel, you'll learn slab, coil, and pinch techniques to build pieces with intention and quiet beauty. Each student will leave with finished greenware ready for firing, and a deeper understanding of how thoughtful making transforms raw clay into something both useful and meaningful. All skill levels welcome.
