Want to test the waters before committing to a several-week class? Crave an evening out of the house? Interested in trying something new?

You will gain a better awareness of the process and craftsmanship that goes into ceramics. We will cover centering, opening, and pulling clay pieces on the potter's wheel. Because this is just a 2.5 hour introductory experience, the intention is to focus on process.
