Afternoon Teapots Class w/ Valerie Williams
Handbuilding pottery doesn't just mean pinch pots! Learn to use our slab roller to create sheets of clay that can be assembled, manipulated, and built into functional ware. This class will start with making mugs and end with constructing a teapot, and during each session participants can enjoy a cup of afternoon tea, on the house.

Woodshop Orientation w/ John Burright
Learn the fundamentals of our woodworking equipment and which tool to choose for the job at hand. Practice using the machinery while making a key rack and shelf you can take home with you after class. Safety is a Workspace priority, so the orientation is required to use the woodshop on your own.
