While we take every precaution, pottery is an art form and sometimes pieces can break or crack during drying and firing. We cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss that may occur during the process. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Our vacation week pottery workshops feature rotating themes to keep things fresh and fun. During the school year, kids enjoy our classic pottery sessions focused on foundational skills and creative expression, while summer brings imaginative, themed adventures. From sculpting mugs and room décor to crafting bird feeders and tic-tac-toe boards, each session is a hands-on experience that builds creativity, confidence, and excitement to keep coming back for more.
