Classes are posted for March! Not as many classes this month as usual but our volunteers need time off occasionally! We do this because we love it and our only return is the joy of clay we share with you.
Due to recent weather cancelations there are two glaze classes in March so your beautiful pottery can be finished. Sign up for one of the glaze classes: Feb. 22nd, March 8th and March 22nd.
