Pottery Classes
Pottery is one of those topics that gets richer the deeper you go into it, and it blends art, science, history, and a whole lot of tactile joy. Here’s a clear, engaging overview to get you inspired and grounded in the essentials.
What Pottery Actually Is
Pottery is the craft of shaping clay into functional or decorative objects and then hardening them through firing. It’s one of the oldest human technologies, with artifacts dating back thousands of years.
Meet Our Pottery Instructor
We are honored to have a very special guest instructor joining us. With over 40 years of experience in pottery, Mr. John Dobbs has spent decades mastering the art of working with clay and sharing his passion for ceramics with others. Generously volunteering his time, he will be teaching participants how to create their own handcrafted ice cream bowls from clay.
His classes are relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for beginners. Students will learn the basics of shaping, forming, and finishing clay while creating a unique bowl that will be perfect for enjoying their favorite scoop of ice cream.
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn from a dedicated artist whose love for pottery has inspired people for generations. We are grateful for his generosity and excited to share his knowledge with our community.
