Ever wondered what it feels like to shape clay on the wheel and watch a lump of mud turn into something beautiful? Our Month-Long Pottery Series is the perfect way to explore pottery as an art form while learning several foundational techniques along the way. Over four weeks, you’ll experience the full creative process from forming your pieces to finishing them with glaze.

Here’s how the month unfolds:

Week 1 – Pottery Wheel
Learn the basics of throwing on the wheel. We’ll cover centering clay, shaping forms, and getting comfortable with the rhythm of the wheel.

Week 2 – Hand-Building & Carving
Step away from the wheel and explore hand-building techniques. You’ll shape clay by hand and experiment with carving and surface decoration to add personality and texture to your work.

Week 3 – Break Week
No class this week while your pieces are carefully bisque-fired in the kiln, preparing them for their final surface treatment.

Week 4 – Painting & Glazing
Bring your pottery to life with color and finish. You’ll learn glazing techniques and decorative approaches that transform your pieces into finished works of art.

Each class meets once a week at the same day and time, creating a relaxed rhythm where you can build skills step by step. If a scheduling conflict pops up, we’re happy to work with you to find a solution so you don’t miss out.

By the end of the month, you’ll have several finished pieces and a solid introduction to the wonderful, slightly messy, deeply satisfying world of pottery. 🏺✨
