Come make your own pottery platter or bowl! We will hand-build our pieces using molds – a simplified process that allows a total novice to create a finished piece. Those of you with more experience can also experiment with finishes and decorations. At the end of class, you will pick one of ten different glaze colors. Gangbusters will fire and glaze our pieces and you’ll be notified when they’re ready to pick up, usually around 2 weeks later.
