The Brick Clay Studio & Gallery is excited to offer Try Night Workshops on the third Saturday of every month! These workshops are a great opportunity for folks who may not be able to commit to an 8-week class to get their hands dirty and try something new.
During the workshop, students will learn the basics of wheel-throwing and make their own bowl or mug to keep. Our instructors will glaze and fire each piece, and you’ll be able to pick up your finished work in about 4 weeks.
Come explore clay in a relaxed, welcoming space—no experience necessary!
