        Want to try the pottery wheel? We’d love to show you how. Come learn all the basic skills needed to make your own pottery. The first 4 weeks we get our creations ready for the first kiln firing. Then we come back to glaze all our pieces before their final firing. Bring your ideas and let’s make it happen. All materials included.
