Explore the world of clay at the Clay Cauldron. Classes are now open for the Autumn 2024 and Winter 2025 quarters. The Pottering series is designed for beginner potters who enjoy learning how to create simple, yet functional ceramics. You will learn various techniques including rolling, forming, smoothing, pinch pots, and glazing.

Take your creativity to go. Create a ceramic travel mug or rounded travel cup. Each mug or cup is complete with a reusable straw. You’ll choose the style. You will learn slab rolling, knife work, smoothing, joining, and glazing.

The classes are limited to six students to maintain a hands-on and immersive experience. Experience the world of pottery by yourself or bring some friends. You will be a part of the pottery community of creators as we explore the medium together.
