You will be guided from a ball of clay to your first bowls or cups. Using a simple to understand process, you will learn the foundational techniques needed to enjoy this meditative and somewhat magical craft. Most students will successfully throw at least 2 pots which will be fired and finished by us, ready to pick up in approximately 3 weeks. Shipping is available.

The cast also includes Michael Smith (Cambridge, VT) as Jim, a high school acquaintance of Laura’s.
