Clay Circle
When: Every Wednesday from 9 am-12pm.
The Clay Circle is a creative community for those who have either completed a beginner workshop with me, or have some sort of former experience with clay. Members meet at least once weekly to explore pottery at their own pace, create their own projects, and enjoy a supportive, social environment. Free use of all studio equipment and underglaze, firings are also included. Clay is purchased separately, and I’m always on hand to guide you as needed.
Paint on Pots – Creative Fun for Everyone
Bring your vision to life by painting colorful underglazes onto our pre-fired bisqueware. This workshop is perfect for all ages and skill levels! Whether you're looking to host a hen party, birthday celebration, team-building event, or a cozy ladies' night, I can bring the studio to you.
