Adult Pottery Classes & Workshops
Cream City Clay offers wheel throwing and hand building (an ancient technique of creating forms without a wheel using hands, fingers and tools) for the beginner to the most advanced.
Wheel classes include teen wheel, wheel I and wheel II, and couples night out. Hand building classes may include coil building, pinch pots, slab building, mosaics, jewelry making, figurines or tile making.
All Materials are included unless otherwise noted.
Classes are available for all levels of pottery skills.
* Changes due to Covid-19: All Spring II Classes will begin online. Clay-to-go kits will be available for $10ea to aid in working from home. Instructors will teach you to make functional and sculptural objects. Classes include videos and personal zoom meetings to help you learn.
If conditions allow, 6 week classes may move in-house with access to the potter’s wheel. If this happens we will be sure to follow CDC rules & proper distancing. The option to finish class while learning from home will also be available.
