Classes

Try your hand at something new or get back to things you’ve been missing.  Even scientists acknowledge that working with our hands offers powerful benefits on many levels.

See which of the following appeals to you and give yourself some time to refresh in the company of others over an empowering and creative activity.

Wednesdays

       and

    Fridays                                   Open  Studio

Many people express that they have been wanting to get their hands into clay for a long time.  Maybe you loved it in high school or college, or maybe you’ve never had that opportunity, but you hear the call of this simple, forgiving  material that is waiting for an invitation to speak your language.

Too busy to sign up for a multi week course?  This is a great way for you to explore, relax and enjoy yourself on a drop-in basis (you have 6 weeks to finish and take home what you make).  Come with an idea and either work on your own or get help on how to bring your idea to life.

Not the typical structured class Open Studio is geared to each person’s unique style and interests, through handbuilding (for beginners as well as experienced) and wheel projects (for experienced) potters.

Just call at least the day before to see if there’s room.   

Regrettably I have had to increase prices (as it has been happening everywhere) as of 1/11/23.
