Pottery Classes
I have been teaching pottery for over 40 years. I love my students and introducing new people to clay.
Classes are offered several times a year for ages 14 and up. 3-hour long classes are held once a week and span between 8-12 weeks in the winter, spring, and fall.
You have the option to work with stoneware and/or porcelain clay, and on occasional we have a raku firing party. In the month of May we have an annual student sale that all students are invited to participate in. Students also have the option to participate in the bowl making for our annual Empty Bowls fundraiser for the local food pantry.
Contact Mary Ellen at me@salmonpottery for availability, schedule, cost and a tour of the studio. There is often a waiting list.
Private lessons are available.
Experiences
If you have ever wanted to just try throwing on the potter’s wheel or revisit a past trial with it, schedule a 2-hour experience for 2-6 people. You’ll have a demonstration and then lots of help and guidance making your very own pots. Everyone usually ends up a little messy and with 2-4 pots that will be glazed in a color of your choice and mailed to you within 6-8 weeks. The handmade pots are a fun memento of your time and experience together. Contact the studio for scheduling and costs.
Demonstrations and Workshops
I am also happy to do demonstrations and workshops for schools and organizations.
