For this Valentine's Day, we are offering several one-time classes in handbuilding! Choose from Feb 13, 14, or 15.
Bring a friend, partner, or just yourself for a fun evening of creating in clay. Make one of our projects or your own - trinket dishes, plant pockets, cheese boards, mugs, and more!
You may bring your own drinks and snacks and enjoy a relaxing 2 hours of making something out of clay without the hassle of the potter's wheel. We have tons of projects to choose from or bring your own ideas with you!
See our Pinterest board of ideas!
Handbuilding is a traditional method of creating with clay in which you use your hands and a slab of clay instead of a potter's wheel. If you're new to pottery, this is a very approachable way to get to know clay as an artistic medium.
In this one-evening class you will have access to our white stoneware clay, all of our handbuilding tools and textures, and a selection of underglazes and glazes. Included in the class cost is 400 cubic inches of space (approximately a shoe box) and if you're on a roll and want to make more, then it's just $10 to fill another one.
Everything you make can be food safe!
About the Teachers
Feb 13 and 15 taught by Teal, Feb 14 taught by Roxane.
Have you always wanted to try gold luster? Want to add a little bling to your pottery?
Join us for a special morning with our very own Anna Sage to learn how to apply gold luster to your glazed pieces.
Bring along work you made that has been glaze fired (luster is a 3rd firing) and you will receive enough gold luster to add design elements to your pieces. The cost of this workshop includes instruction, luster, and firing for 2-4 pieces (approximately 400 cubic inches).
Workshop is limited to 10 people and pre-registration is required.
Notes: Luster isn't meant to completely cover your pottery, and once it has been fired will no longer be microwave safe.
Come to Community Clay on the First Friday of December and enjoy drinks, snacks, and holiday shopping.
Additionally, contribute to a Community Coil - a giant planter for the outside of our building!
We can't wait to see you!

Join us on Saturday, October 8, 2022 from 1-3PM for this very special workshop with guest teacher Becca Otis from 5 Lines Pottery in Indianapolis.
She is the co-host of the insanely popular podcast Wheel Talk.
Becca Otis is a production potter with 13 years of experience. She focuses mainly on efficient practices and speed of throwing. In this 2 hour workshop we will focus on movements that can help you more efficiently throw a pot. Focusing on the first and second pull can make all the difference in making a pot.
Price is $50. Any pieces you make may be kept for $0.03 per cubic inch.
All levels are welcome!
