What Our Pottery Students Say
Absolutely LOVE this class! We did the 4 week beginner wheel class and I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed myself! This was my first time throwing on the wheel and I love all my pieces!

Wonderful class with a patient, well-informed instructor. Intimate classes in a cozy setting made for a very relaxed way to learn pottery on the wheel. Made two beautiful mugs!
