Our single-session “Try It” workshop is the perfect way to get your hands dirty and experience the unshakable joy of the potter’s wheel. In this 2-hour workshop, you’ll learn the basics of centering and shaping clay on the wheel with step-by-step guidance from Sean.

No prior knowledge required–this class is all about exploration and fun. You’ll have the chance to make several pieces, and we’ll finish and glaze everything you made after class so you can go home with a lasting keepsake from your first pottery experience!
