Classes at The Temple of Mediclaytion
Learn to make pottery! Classes are offered for all levels, from beginners to advanced workshops. All classes include instruction, clay, glaze, and firings, and take place once a week for six weeks.
I will be opening the next session towards the end of the month. Once we have dates nailed down, I will post them, but the next session will either start the last week in August or the first week in September.
If you would like to be on the wait list for the next session, please email me and I will add you to the list. We will offer classes Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights, which will meet once a week for 6 weeks.
