Make pottery that functions beautifully and turns heads. In this class, we’ll dive into the art of creating functional ceramics—mugs that feel perfect in your hand, bowls with just the right balance, and vessels designed for real everyday use. Along the way, we’ll explore how ergonomics, weight, and design transform a simple pot into a favorite object you reach for every day. Whether you’re new to clay or coming back for more, you’ll learn both wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques to create pieces that are practical, personal, and full of character.
