Ceramics: Wheel & Hand • ALL LEVELS
Unplug from the digital world and connect with the meditative process of working with clay in this beginner-friendly & up class. For those with or without experience, this class is designed to help you tap into your own creative rhythm and build a sustainable pottery practice at any stage. You'll learn core techniques from an expert instructor, but the primary focus is on nurturing your personal artistic expression. Through mindful practice and hands-on experimentation, you will build the skills and independence needed to create a body of work that is all your own.
