5-Week Ceramics Classes
Our 5-week ceramics classes provide a overview of basic ceramic techniques, plus important practice moving your work through the pottery journey from creation to completion. You’ll get two weeks of wheel time, but ceramics is much more than that. Uplevel your wheel work with techniques like trimming, attaching, and surface decoration. Learn slab construction for a taste of handbuilding, and wrap it all up by glazing everything you made in your 5-week series.
“These 5-week ceramics classes are the original “Start Here” beginner-friendly pottery series that we’ve built Mud Lily’s reputation on. In fact, many of the potters (and teachers!) whose work you’ve admired around San Diego got their start right here with our classes!”
Even if you have previous pottery experience, the 5-week series is the best way to feel comfortable in a studio environment. Plus, you’ll spend quality time every week with other really cool folks who share your interest in clay!
5-week class pricing includes clay, glazes, and firing for all work made in class.
