(More info about Open Pottery can be found at https://www.oliocenter.com/classes.) If you have further questions on when to return, due to firing, please ask Mary during your intro course.

Once you complete this introductory pottery wheel course, you will be able to reserve the pottery wheel during Open Pottery sessions.
