Pottery Workshop: All Levels, Beginner

Spend your Saturday afternoon getting creative in the Creative Arts Workshop pottery studio!

This fun, hands-on workshop is a fantastic introduction to pottery and a great way to experience CAW’s studio environment. You’ll explore two foundational ceramic techniques: hand building and wheel throwing, with guidance from our instructors every step of the way. Along the way, you’ll also experiment with surface textures and glazing techniques while learning about the many stages involved in making pottery.

This workshop is designed as an introduction to the ceramic process — a chance to play with clay, try new skills, and discover what pottery is all about. Because finished pottery requires multiple steps, including drying, firing, and glazing over several weeks, participants will not leave with completed ceramic pieces at the end of the session. If you do create a piece you love – fantastic.  You are then welcome to speak with the instructor about next steps to finish the project.

Come get your hands dirty, learn something new, and enjoy a creative afternoon in the studio!

No experience necessary, all levels welcome.

Pottery tool kits are available for sale in the studio for $27.  Firing fees are $3.50/pound. Payable by credit card, cash or check.

All materials and tools provided. Wear clothes that can get messy. An apron or old towel is recommended.
