In this 6-week class, led by accomplished artist, Carol Marie Vossler, you will learn the basics of how to make objects out of clay. For those who are new to clay or have some knowledge of clay (beginner- to intermediate). The clay that we use in this class is midrange stoneware, fired to Cone 6 (2230 degrees Fahrenheit). We will learn several techniques for shaping the clay. Together we will explore some hand-building techniques but most of the emphasis will be exploring wheel throwing, firing, and glazing.

New! 2024 We will be hosting multiple Pit Fires, Raku, and Specialty Workshops!
Join internationally acclaimed artist, Randi Renate, for The Station Pottery’s specialty workshops! The Station will be hosting multiple pit fires and raku workshops. A pit fire is an ancient method of firing clay in the ground. The process itself is an experience and the technique is celebrated with the colors, swirls, and patterns that emerge from the magic.
Raku firing is a traditional Japanese pottery technique known for its unpredictability and unique results. It is often characterized by its crackled glaze and vibrant colors, making it a sought-after art form for many collectors and enthusiasts. (Image Credit: ClassBento)
