In this creative 2-hour clay workshop, students will learn how to hand-build a bowl using the pinch pot technique then use a fun dice-rolling game to inspire their design. Each roll introduces a new idea to sculpt, carve, or add to their bowl, making every piece completely unique. After the bowls are bisque-fired, students will return by appointment about a week later to paint their creations with colorful finishes.

This workshop combines hands on clay skills, imagination, and a little bit of chance, perfect for young makers who enjoy creative challenges! All materials and firing are included.

Missy Hitch
What began as a single ceramics class quickly became a creative obsession for Missy Hitch. She soon found herself spending countless hours in the studio, exploring, learning, and refining her craft. After a decade of working with clay, she became a ceramics instructor at Prairie Arts Center, where she now teaches hand-building and beginning wheel classes.

Missy specializes in creating functional everyday pieces like mugs, baking dishes, and teapots, but she also enjoys crafting decorative work. She has led a wide range of workshops on projects such as yarn bowls, decorative plates, Valentine gnomes, and whimsical chickens. Over the years, she has gathered a wealth of techniques and tricks, which she loves sharing with her students to make pottery both fun and accessible. Whether at the wheel or in the classroom, Missy finds joy in helping others discover the magic of clay.
