Looking for a creative escape this winter?

Join us in our calm and welcoming pottery studio for a 7-week course that invites you to slow down, get your hands into clay, and explore the joy of making. Whether you're completely new to pottery or already familiar with the wheel, this course is designed to meet you where you are—with space to learn, play, and relax.

Together we’ll explore both hand-building techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab construction, as well as wheel throwing—learning how to center clay and pull up the walls. You’ll create pieces that reflect your own style, and we’ll guide you every step of the way in a friendly, supportive group setting.

No stress. No experience needed. Just a beautiful space to create and connect.
