Pottery Studio refers to pottery that is produced by professional and amateur artists or craftsmen, either alone, with instructional assistance or in small groups, to produce unique items or short runs. All stages of production are usually done by the artist or the professional instructor. Studio pottery includes functional pottery, such as tableware and cooking utensils, and non-functional pottery, such as sculptures, with vases and bowls occupying the middle and often used only for display.
The studio is available for patrons ages 17 and up; minors aged 4-16 years must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times. We offer beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes and teach techniques for wheel throwing, hand building, glazing, and firing. Students are also exposed to a variety of tools and materials. Our instructors are professional potters who have their own artistic careers. Class Registration is required.
