Pottery classes begin this Saturday!

Hi everyone — let's get our clay on this summer! Reminder that our summer sessions are only 3-4 weeks long, so you can fit them around vacation plans.

There are still spots open right now:

• Coil Building Workshop (Saturdays 12-3pm starting May 30)
Handbuilding, texture, surface, slower pace, very satisfying.

• Intro to Wheel (Wednesdays, 10am-12:30pm)
A good starting point if you’ve been wanting to learn and needed something daytime-friendly.

• Intro to Wheel (Tuesdays, 6-8:30pm)
A good starting point if you need something evening-friendly.

• Next Step Wheel (Mondays, 6-8:30pm)
For people who already have some basics and want to explore different forms, larger pieces, altered work, bowls, plates, and generally getting more comfortable throwing with intention.

• Try-It Wheel — Friday June 12, 6-8pm
Short, beginner-friendly, low-pressure introduction to the wheel if you’ve been curious but didn’t want to commit to a full class yet. Great for date nights!

The studio is still very much in its early days, which makes this a fun time to try it out. People are getting to know each other, trying things, helping glaze-test weird experiments, figuring out favorite tools, and building the kind of pottery community I was hoping this place would become.

You can check out classes and sign up here:

Hope to see you in the studio soon.

The first few classes filled faster than I expected(!), and I figured I could probably squeeze one more into the schedule before summer gets fully chaotic. Reminder that our summer sessions are only 3-4 weeks long, so you can fit them around vacation plans! There are still spots open in a few classes right now: • Intro to Wheel (Wednesdays, 10am-12:30pm)A good...

Hi friends, A quick update from the studio. We’ve had a really lovely response to our summer class announcement over the past few days. Thank you to everyone who signed up, shared the post, or sent kind messages our way. It still feels a little surreal to finally have people coming into the space and getting clay on the wheels. A few classes are starting to fill, but there’s still room in: • Coil-Building Workshop with Lizette• Next Step Wheel with Janet If you’ve been thinking about signing...
