TMA pottery classes have small class sizes with individualized instruction. All skill levels are welcome from beginners to experienced potters. In this course you will be introduced to hand-building, how to use a potter’s wheel, and glazing. Understanding and control of the materials and craft will enable you to design and develop your own style.
