Private Clay Handbuilding Experience

Step into the world of clay hand-building with our exclusive Private Hand-building Class!

Guided by Christie, a seasoned pottery expert, you'll learn all the tricks and techniques to craft your own unique pottery pieces.

We provide everything you need for a seamless creative journey: from aprons to clay, tools, and even pottery wheel equipment.
