A six week course studying the fundamentals of wheel thrown stoneware pottery. Each student is provided with a potters wheel in our studio near Big Lake, Alaska.

All the classes are still the same six week that I always teach.

We now have 12 instructional videos on our website (more to come) hosted by YouTube, so if you have a smartphone or iPhone they can be viewed while you work. Very handy, if it is a open studio day and I am not around. Bring head phones. Next regular price $240 pottery classes start on September 18th!

See you in the pottery studio!

The studio is located at Hollywood and Johnson Roads in a natural woodland setting.

Eight large windows provide lots of natural light to create an open airy environment complementing the natural wood and clean painted surfaces of the studio.
