Adult Classes

Take your pottery skills to the next level with Wheel Throwing II! This class is designed for those who have completed our Beginning Wheel Throwing class or have basic experience on the pottery wheel. Under the guidance of a professional ceramic artist, you’ll deepen your understanding of the techniques learned in Wheel One, with a focus on refining your forms and exploring more complex shapes.

 

In this course, students explore the basic physical properties of clay by practicing a variety of hand-forming techniques used to create functional objects. Hand-forming techniques will include pinch pottery, slab and coil building, mold slumping, and texturizing surfaces. The objective of this class is not to make pieces to take home, but rather to learn what is possible and give students a chance to get their hands dirty and feel what it's like to work with clay. No previous experience with clay is needed for this class. This class is a prerequisite to attend  open studio.

Turn your scraps into sacred beauty. In this joyful mixed media class, you’ll learn how to cut, layer, and collage handmade florals using painted and patterned papers. We’ll create vibrant flower cards that celebrate color, play, and imperfection. You’ll explore both structured cutting (using simple templates) and freestyle cutting to discover your own creative rhythm. No prior art experience is needed—just a willingness to play.

Learn to make a colorfully patterned bracelet using seed beads and a beading loom in this one day “make and take” class. You will have your choice between 2 patterns and 2 different color schemes to create your own bracelet- one tiny bead at a time! You will also make ends and a closure using real leather and a silver tone button.

Join us for a hands-on glass crafting experience led by stained glass artist Meghan Brasuell. In this workshop, you'll create an abstract stained glass nightlight while learning the Tiffany-style stained glass technique. Suitable for all skill levels, this class will spark your creativity and teach you a brand new art form! Each attendee will leave with a one-of-a-kind nightlight crafted from distinct glass shapes.
