Visit my studio in Ivy Hill for some one on one beginner pottery instruction! These classes are great for people who have never tried the potter’s wheel, folks who want to re-awaken a hobby and people who nurse frustrated memories of wobbly pieces from their high school pottery class. I am an encouraging, fun instructor; my goal is to make art more accessible and inviting, even if you think you’re “not creative.” I’ve got the clay, the tools and the playlist; just bring yourself and an open mind. 


**My studio has capacity for 2 students at a time; the rates below are per person with the exception of the Claydate.**
