Teens can come for just one day but they may beg to come back. I will help them create pottery though a variety of techniques basedon thier interest. They will get thier project back typically in a week or so. Then I will show them how to paint and glaze it. If they throw on the wheel they will have to come back to complete the project or just enjoy the attempts.
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.

About me
My passion for Pottery started in 2014. While I have created with clay since high school, throwing on the pottery wheel fascinated me. Bothwell Pottery has long been a dream of mine. Offering handbuilding and wheel classes to artists young and old. Outside of art, I love fishing, skiing and travelling.
