Schedule A Pottery Lesson
I offer one-on-one, partner (2 people), Date Night!, and small private group lessons out of my pottery studio in the Reynoldstown neighborhood of Atlanta.
Please scroll to the bottom of the page, select your package, select date and time, and follow the prompts to checkout. A non-refundable deposit is required for all lessons.
Date Night includes the following:
Up to two hours of instruction for throwing on the wheel - we will cover clay prep, centering, and will end up with a small bowl
Materials - Up to 2 lb. of clay, all required tools, assortment of glaze colors to choose from
Work collaboratively with your partner to create a single piece of pottery on the wheel
Instead of coming back to finish your bowl, we will discuss carving and glaze options. I will trim/carve and glaze your bowl for you. You will be notified when your piece is finished and ready to be picked up.
In addition to learning a little bit about pottery, you will likely learn a little bit about your partner and leave with a fun memory!
