Whether you’re new to ceramics or have prior experience, this class offers a supportive studio environment to build skills, gain confidence, make friends, and create unique works of art.

Note on firing: All work will be fired and ready for pick up in the Kimball Art Center 7-14 days after your class. We do not ship class work.
