This class is for potters who already know their way around the wheel but occasionally need a bit of support—whether you’re refining your technique, problem-solving a specific form, or just looking for guidance to get past a tricky stage.
Each session is open-format and student-led: no set curriculum, just targeted help based on what you’re working on that day. Bring your challenges—whether it’s taller walls, better trimming, or centering confidence—and we’ll work through them together.
The class meets every other week, alternating between Friday and Saturday mornings.
Note: The week of July 4th, the class will take place on Thursday, July 3rd instead of Friday or Saturday.
Drop in as needed—book each class individually.
