This workshop focuses on the skill-building, curiosities, and aesthetic development of the students’ personal interests.  Through daily demonstrations, discussions, fun exercises and personal attention, participants will create well-crafted and thoughtful pottery.
 
Pots that are dry will be bisques-fired as part of the class.  With an atmosphere of fun and hard work, the goal is for you to experience personal growth in your work. Both wheel and hand builders are welcome.  Open to all skill levels.
