The experience
What to expect
Begin with an introduction to the properties of clay and the essential techniques used to shape. Try your hand at the potter's wheel, where you'll learn the satisfying process of centering, shaping, and forming clay into vessels such as bowls, cups, or small planters.

At the end of the session, take home your piece of art.
