Pottery:
For over 26 years, we have taught generations of crafts people clay skills, watched children grow up and have celebrated long friendships along the way. We are well known for our rigorous teaching skills and close attention to our students’ progress.
IN OUR FACILITY ....
Learn the art of pottery through our ceramic art classes, using the potters wheel and ceramic sculpting, in a professional, spacious and well lit studio. Our studio evokes a comfortable “old school” feeling. People of all ages and ability levels come together in a relaxed but vibrant atmosphere to explore ceramic arts. We offer tools, support and instruction to help stimulate the artist in us all.
Instruction activities for children and adults include group classes (beginners and advanced), private lessons, after school art for kids programs and summer camp. Open Studio time can be purchased for independent work. Professional development for teachers, corporate team building workshops, custom programs, birthday party events for children or adults and gift certificates are also offered. Our gallery includes diverse handmade pottery work made by our instructors.
There is nothing like creating a beautiful ceramic piece of art. There is nothing like feeling the clay between your fingers and molding it into an object from your imagination. There is nothing like the feeling of creating something from resources straight from the earth. Take a pottery class and discover for yourself the feeling of accomplishment your creativity has manifested.
GET CENTERED
We are the ceramic art and craft educational resource for the community focusing on clay art. We seek to inspire creativity, foster self-discovery, and nurture an appreciation to learn about art through our pottery programs, special events and access to our studio, clay center and gallery.
Students learn to make beautiful ceramic pottery on the wheel and useful and delightful hand built projects. Students re-discover their own creativity. Folks come to us from all walks of life and from all over the world sharing the drive to create.
All of our clay is non-toxic and our glazes have been leach tested and declared food safe. We depend on all members of our studio to participate in keeping the work areas clean and well ordered.
