Why it’s fun:
There’s something that happens the moment you first get your clay centered on the wheel for the first time. Once you feel it, and once you REALLY get the hang of it, we promise you will be changed! It’s so satisfying, and meditative and enjoyable. And beyond the tactile enjoyment, you will get to do this with folks from the community who are also learning something new alongside you, and you’ll have the distinct joy of getting to use something you MADE with your own hands. There’s nothing like drinking your morning coffee out of your own mug!
What’s Included:
The class runs for 6 weeks, with each session lasting 3 hours.
The course includes clay, use of basic tools, and an additional 6 hours of open studio time for you to practice your new skills with the guidance of our amazing Clay Coaches during our designated hours.

After class, we’ll trim your piece, you’ll choose a glaze color, and we’ll handle the firing. When it’s ready, you’ll swing back by to pick up a finished, one-of-a-kind piece—made by you.
Three couples total will fill the space; coordinate with your friends and make it a triple-date night! Just ONE enrollment is good for BOTH people in the couple. $99=two people for two hours.
