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.
