Dates: March 13 – 17, 2023

Whether you are a professional potter, aspiring to be, or a hobbyist this class is for you.
Sarah will partner with you on a path of throwing with excellence. As you develop a relationship with your clay, grow in your understanding of the properties of clay and the nuances of moving clay, the more adept and creative you become.
Each student will be set up to push their current skill set beyond their current level. Whether you are a seasoned beginner or intermediate to advanced potter this class will be customized to your needs. We will have lively discussions, sharing and “what if’s” will be explored. This is always a favorite part of Sarah’s classes.
