Class Overview

Spend a couple of creative hours getting your hands in clay! In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll explore the fundamentals of handbuilding pottery while making a functional piece you’ll be proud to use at home or give as a gift.

Each session alternates between two classic projects:

• Mug Workshop – Learn to roll, cut, join, and smooth soft slabs of clay as you craft your very own one-of-a-kind mug.

• Vase Workshop – Explore coil-building techniques to design and build a unique vase, perfect for fresh blooms or as a decorative piece.

No matter which project you do, you’ll learn hands-on techniques, use studio tools, and leave with a piece that’s completely your own. No experience needed!
