B.Y.O.W.
Want to have a girls night, a date night, or a night of family fun? Join us for a night of wine and pottery!

Students will learn the basics of either pottery wheel or handbuilding with clay. Instructor Janie Dick will teach students how to work with clay to hand build your very own mug. Students will work with stamps and tools to add texture to their pieces, add attachments, and use underglazes to add color. Pieces are then fired, and students will receive an email when they are ready to be picked up!

Please choose your preferred date and technique when you sign up! Beginner handbuilders welcome, but prior experience on the wheel is REQUIRED to select the pottery wheel technique.
