Program Overview

Join fellow ceramicists for an afternoon in the studio pursuing your own direction in clay at your own pace! While no formal instruction is provided, studio facilitator Reneé Schwaller orients each participant to the space, materials, and equipment, shares helpful tips throughout, and ensures everyone has a positive experience. Some prior clay experience required.
