Mountain Pottery is pleased to offer small hands-on pottery wheel classes for your social or family "pod." Each class can accommodate 2-4 people age 14 and above.

However please reach out by email or text for special requests. We can often accommodate classes at 11am or 2pm any day we are open. We can also often accommodate larger groups as well as younger children...just ask.
Each participant will try to make 2 pieces on the potter's wheel with assistance from our skilled instructors. Students will select glaze color(s) and the staff at Mountain Pottery will bisque fire, glaze and glaze fire the pieces. Finished pieces are ready for pick-up or shipping in 4-5. Your ceramics will be food safe, dishwasher and microwave safe (ceramics may get hot in the microwave...remove with caution). Any pieces not picked up within 3 months of the class will be considered "orphaned"
