Hand to Hand: A Beginners Pottery Class

Are you ready to get your hands messy, tap into your creative side, and create something beautiful with your own two hands? Whether you're searching for a new hobby, looking for a fun way to de-stress, or simply curious about pottery, Hand to Hand: A Beginners Pottery Class is the perfect place to start!

This beginner-friendly hand-building pottery workshop is designed for anyone who has ever wanted to try pottery but didn't know where to begin. Unlike wheel throwing, hand-building is a relaxed, accessible technique that allows you to shape and sculpt clay using just your hands and simple tools—making it perfect for absolute beginners!

✔ No experience required – this is a relaxed, beginner-friendly space
✔ Perfect creative escape – unwind, de-stress, and enjoy the process
✔ Take home a pottery toolkit – keep creating even after the class!
✔ Craft something uniquely yours – a functional piece you can actually use
✔ A fun experience to share – come solo, with a friend, or as a date night idea!

* All Materials Provided: Each participant will receive a pottery toolkit (yours to keep!) with essential tools such as a wooden rib, sponge, wire cutter, needle tool, and more. Air dry clay and acrylic paint will be provided. This clay does not need to be glazed and fired in a kiln. Please wear clothes and shoes that are comfortable and you don't mind getting a little messy.

* Please be aware:

• Saturday, May 17th, 5p-8p is Pottery Creation
• Sunday, May 18th, 2p-5p is Paint & Pick-up
