Overview

About this class

Teachers specialize in sparking a passion for creative expression in children by creating an atmosphere of learning, fun, and friendship.

Students craft bowls, plates, cups, vases, sea creatures, animals, and more while learning slab, pinching, and coil techniques.

Children glaze work throughout the semester, but because pottery must be fired, some pieces may not be ready to paint by the last class.

The studio will call or email when each child's work is bagged and ready for pickup, typically 2-3 weeks after the final class. Pottery not picked up within 30 days of notification may be donated due to limited space.
