In this hands-on, beginner’s clay workshop led by artist Katie Fitzgerald, you’ll learn the fundamentals of pottery-making and create two to three dishes meant for everyday use. Whether you prefer delicate curves or the weight of a solid mug, you’ll be able to put your own personal spin on your creation and enjoy it daily—or even get a head start on your holiday gift-giving! Whatever your style and experience level, we’ll be there to help you succeed every step of the way with step-by-step instruction and guidance. Once you’ve finished the workshop, your creations will be fired and finalized off-site, and will be available for pickup two weeks after class.
