Pottery classes
Classes will resume when it is safe to do so in the studio. We are in the process of making it possible to come for classes while practicing social distancing. This means less people in each class and a more open studio space – lots of furniture moving in the studio to make it a safe, yet fun and creative space for us all!
7 – 9:30 PM Wednesdays
OR
7 – 9:30 PM Thursdays
Classes are 10 week sessions.
Classes are held at my home studio in Doon Village. Each student has their own potter’s wheel. Classes are offered in small class sizes of 4-8 people, with a lot of one on one instruction. Classes are open to beginner through advanced levels.
We begin by learning to make bowls, and then progress to make mugs, plates, vases, candle holders, goblets, etc. I also teach how to decorate pots by hand sculpting figures, such as mermaids, cats, or birds. I have a wide selection of glazes which my students enjoy using. My classes are a warm, supportive environment where I get to know students on an individual basis. I serve tea, and create a fun evening for all. Many students continue taking classes for several sessions, working on their own unique projects. Many former students are now selling pottery and even teaching classes themselves.
