Two-Day Workshops

Don't have the time to commit to an 8-week course? Our two-day workshops are the perfect option for you! Scheduled every Saturday from 1-3pm, you will spend your first day creating wheel thrown pottery with step-by-step instruction. Day two will be spent learning how to finish your pieces with professional and food-safe glazes. This workshop is the perfect way to spend your afternoon in a creative and welcoming environment.

Please allow at least 2 weeks between day 1 and day 2 to ensure your piece has sufficiently dried and has gone through the first firing.

Two Hour Intro to Pottery Experience

Your first hour will be spent on the potter's wheel, learning how to "throw" a cup, vase, bowl or plate. Your instructor will guide you step by step in a fun and relaxing setting. In the next hour, you will be taught the techniques of glazing and be given a pre-made piece of Earth and Fire pottery to practice your newfound skills. Once fired, you will be able to keep your glazed piece for years to come!

Taking private lessons at Earth And Fire allows students to progress at their own pace, with the freedom of a flexible schedule.
