Earth & Fire Classes and Workshops 

Looking to take a pottery class, but do not have six weeks to commit? We now offer two day workshops that fit into your busy schedule! During day one, we spend two hours learning the basics. You will learn how to prepare the clay, then get on the potter's wheel to learn how to center and throw basic forms. Once your projects have dried and been fired in the kiln, we will contact you to arrange your glazing session. On this second day, you will learn about the firing process, choose your glaze colors, and learn glaze application. The end result will be gorgeous pottery handmade by YOU! These workshops are great for a date night, girls night out, or a family activity. Gather some friends and come get muddy!
