Week 1: Slab building (choose between a tray, mug, or bowl) Week 2: Pinch & coil built vases Week 3: Glazing Please note, this class takes place in a non-climate-controlled detached garage, so dress accordingly. Join us for a fun and creative pottery course where you can get your hands dirty and create your own unique ceramic works! This in-person class will take place at Sun Parlor Studio in Cleveland's Old Brooklyn neighborhood. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced potter, this course is perfect for everyone. Your instructor will guide you through the process, from molding the clay to glazing. When your work is complete it will be kiln-fired and you will be notified when it is ready for pick up.

Join us for an afternoon of relaxing creative time at Apothecary Verde in Old Brooklyn! You will get to make and paint your own ceramic pinch pot and slab-built soap dish to go with your new artisanal self-care goods courtesy of the Apothecary. You will paint your soap dish and pinch pot with underglaze. I will clear glaze your work for you, which will seal it and make it easy to clean. You will pick up your finished work at Apothecary Verde after it has been fired.
