Classes
for K12 Students

Come learn with us! We offer classes for elementary through high school students both fall and spring sessions.

Classes for All Ages

Our goal is to offer a variety of classes to welcome any level learner to our studio. Whether your child has experience with clay or is just beginning, we are excited to have your child as a learner in our studio. We teach ceramics through a project-based approach, while building skills along the way. This allows us to provide individualized instruction and work with students at their levels.  For students ages 5-12 class will be based upon handbuilding projects. For older students, class instruction includes both handbuilding and wheel throwing opportunities. Students will also learn how to glaze their own pots.
Fall Class sessions are 8 weeks long, beginning in September and ending at the end of October.
Winter Class sessions are 8 weeks long, beginning in late January and ending at the end of March.

From Our Students

I’m really happy I had the opportunity to work with clay. I didn’t think this was something for me, but I really love it.
-Em

Working with clay let me leave the rest of my world at the door. I was able to be creative and find space to just be at the same time.
-Leslie
