The first of four class periods runs from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Feb. 21.
The beginning ceramic workshop covers the basic skills of working with clay. It is ideal for those with little or no experience who are interested in learning to make pottery. For experienced ceramic artists, this class provides an opportunity to refresh old skills, push creative hand building concepts, and work in a professional ceramic studio.
