Think beyond the simple mug or bowl. This class is all about reimagining what a vessel can be. Over four weeks, we'll experiment with transforming traditional pottery forms into expressive, sculptural works that still (mostly) hold function. Students will explore how to create whimsical, character-filled pieces that blur the line between pottery and sculpture.

We’ll build playful teapots, imaginative creature cups, or sculptural vases that merge humor, personality, and craftsmanship. Whether your style leans toward the quirky and fantastical or sleek and architectural, you'll leave this class with one-of-a-kind ceramic creations that feel alive.

No prior clay experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to take creative risks.

Ever wish you could enhance your thrown pieces?

Expand your pottery skills by playfully exploring altered forms. This class invites you to creatively push the boundaries of wheel-thrown shapes, combining hand-building techniques with wheel-thrown work to craft one-of-a-kind pieces. You'll explore altering forms through darting, fluting, and faceting, and experiment with reshaping your creations by squishing, cutting, and reassembling– all of which will enhance creative problem solving in the studio and encourage you to make unique masterpieces.
