We'll start the class with some hand-building techniques to make our own one-of-a-kind pottery creations (which will be bisque-fired and dipped in clear glaze by our staff). After we break for a snack, we'll come back and get creative with glazes as we paint some ready-made seasonal Fall ceramic objects.
Pottery will be ready for pick-up within two weeks, to allow time for us to fire them in the kiln.

The cost of registration will include food, drink, festivities and a JELLYCAT! We will provide all the Jellycats and then attendees will pick a number at random which will represent their place in the yankee swap. Since every Jellycat is special, everyone is a winner.
Space is limited, so sign up on your own or with friends and let the swapping begin! (PS: This makes a great holiday present!)ages 8-12 | $45

This beginner-friendly workshop is a great chance to have some family FUN together on a Saturday morning! We welcome children ages 8+, accompanied by a paying adult. Each person (child and adult) will have their own wheel and create their own pottery pieces! Learn the fundamentals of throwing on the wheel and glazing your work. Come on in and get a taste of what our longer wheel throwing courses are like. We think you're going to get hooked!

This is a two-day workshop. You will throw your pieces during the first session and glaze them during the second session, after a bisque firing in between. Your final work will be ready two weeks later, after the glaze firing.
Your $240 registration includes one child and one adult. We welcome children ages 8+ Children must be accompanied by an adult
Each participant will have their own wheel. Limited to 10.
