Pottery Classes

First time ever offered: Summer Pottery Classes at a lower price of $200

LOWER PRICE FOR 2 SUMMER CLASSES

A savings of $30. All the classes are still the same six week that I always teach. Nothing else has changed, just a lower price until the September when it goes back to $230 to help fight the high cost of heating fuel.

We now have 12 instructional videos on our website (more to come) hosted by Youtube, so if you have a smartphone or iPhone they can be viewed while you work. Very handy, if it is a open studio day and I am not around. Bring head phones. First class starts May 23rd. Ends on the 27th of June. 2nd class starts July 11 and ends August 15. Next regular price $230 pottery classes start on September 12th!

See you in the pottery studio!
