Potters' Guild Classes
Wheel throwing and hand building

The Potters’ Guild offers classes at its Haslett studio four times a year.  Adult students, both beginning and experienced, work with excellent instructors to develop wheel throwing and glazing skills.  Classes meet weekly for ten 3-hour sessions.  In addition, four 3-hour student practice sessions are offered each week. The fee of $320 per term covers instruction, practice hours, 50 pounds of clay, glaze materials and firing. Please see the bottom of this page for a detailed class calendar.

Registration:

The Fall 2026 term will start on Monday, September 14th . Please note that we have recently changed our process, and  enrollment for classes is now through email registration.

Equal priority is given to registration forms sent at any time on the registration date — forms sent before this date will be given lesser priority.
