What about finger painting, play dough, and craft projects? There is a reason why we loved using our imaginations and getting our hands dirty as children - creativity is one of the 12 pillars of a healthy lifestyle. As adults, most of us have been told to ignore our creative voice, its not valuable or we're not talented enough, but that's not true at all! Creating is an integral part of every one of us! Join us for a fun, refreshing and completely judgement free class as we learn the basics of wheel throwing. Learn to make one-of-a-kind, unique to you mugs, bowls, and vases, while tapping into that inner-child and finding joy in getting your hands muddy again. *While this class will be going over the basics, all levels are welcome.*&amp;quot;}" data-sheets-userformat="{&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;:515,&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;:{&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;:0},&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;:{&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;:2,&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;:16777215},&amp;quot;12&amp;quot;:0}"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Jump into spring with some gorgeous handmade planters made with your own sense of pizzazz!

What about finger painting, play dough, and craft projects? There is a reason why we loved using our imaginations and getting our hands dirty as children - creativity is one of the 12 pillars of a healthy lifestyle. As adults, most of us have been told to ignore our creative voice, its not valuable or we're not talented enough, but that's not true at all! Creating is an integral part of every one of us! Join us for a fun, refreshing and completely judgement free class as we learn the basics of wheel throwing. Learn to make one-of-a-kind, unique to you mugs, bowls, and vases, while tapping into that inner-child and finding joy in getting your hands muddy again. *While this class will be going over the basics, all levels are welcome.*&amp;quot;}" data-sheets-userformat="{&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;:515,&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;:{&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;:0},&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;:{&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;:2,&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;:16777215},&amp;quot;12&amp;quot;:0}"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Jump into spring with some gorgeous handmade planters made with your own sense of pizzazz!

Join us for a fun, refreshing and completely judgement free class as we learn the basics of wheel throwing. Learn to make one-of-a-kind, unique to you mugs, bowls, and vases, while tapping into that inner-child and finding joy in getting your hands muddy again. *While this class will be going over the basics, all levels are welcome.*&amp;quot;}" data-sheets-userformat="{&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;:515,&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;:{&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;:0},&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;:{&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;:2,&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;:16777215},&amp;quot;12&amp;quot;:0}"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;In this class you will learn the basics of wheel throwing in a relaxing, no pressure environment with the added bonus of creating specific items you will want to use every day.

What about finger painting, play dough, and craft projects? There is a reason why we loved using our imaginations and getting our hands dirty as children - creativity is one of the 12 pillars of a healthy lifestyle. As adults, most of us have been told to ignore our creative voice, its not valuable or we're not talented enough, but that's not true at all! Creating is an integral part of every one of us! Join us for a fun, refreshing and completely judgement free class as we learn the basics of wheel throwing. Learn to make one-of-a-kind, unique to you mugs, bowls, and vases, while tapping into that inner-child and finding joy in getting your hands muddy again. *While this class will be going over the basics, all levels are welcome.*&amp;quot;}" data-sheets-userformat="{&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;:515,&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;:{&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;:0},&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;:{&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;:2,&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;:16777215},&amp;quot;12&amp;quot;:0}"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;In this class you will learn the basics of wheel throwing in a relaxing, no pressure environment with the added bonus of creating specific items you will want to use every day. Projects will accommodate both beginner and intermediate students, but you are also free to express you own creativity.
