Pottery Classes in Denver
Our 6-week wheel throwing classes take you from your first lump of clay to finished, glazed pieces you made yourself. You'll learn centering, pulling walls, trimming, handles, and glazing — and you'll have a lot of fun doing it.
More into sculptural work? Our handbuilding classes cover pinch, coil, and slab techniques — a totally different side of ceramics that's just as rewarding.
24/7 Pottery Studio Membership
Members get 24/7 studio access — come in before work, after work, at midnight, whenever. You'll have wheels, a slab roller, tools, glazes, and kilns at your disposal. It's your studio.
