Adult courses guide and support students towards achieving their individual goals. While skills are taught and projects are suggested, students are encouraged to follow their interests. Clay must be purchased from the studio.

Children’s classes introduce clay skills and techniques through open ended projects. Students will be encouraged to play and discover ways to express themselves. All materials are included.

We’re excited to invite you to our first-ever Community Clayworks Throwdown!

In past years, we’ve hosted our own in-studio Ceramics Olympics—but this year, we’re changing things up. Instead of keeping it in-house, we’re teaming up with our friendly neighboring studios to the north for a collaborative throwdown. Think of it as a fun, spirited mashup of creativity, community, and just a touch of competition—very much inspired by The Great Pottery Throwdown.

Who’s invited?

All Community Clayworks members, staff and our currently enrolled students are warmly invited to participate, along with members and staff from The Pottery. It’s a great opportunity to meet and connect with fellow clay artists from across our extended ceramics community.

·     Potluck Lunch: 11:30 AM – 12:00 PM

·     Throwdown Challenges: 12:00 PM – 2:30 PM

What to expect:

We’ll have a mix of individual and team challenges in both wheel throwing and handbuilding, plus some fun prizes. Challenges will be revealed the day of—so come ready to think on your feet and get your hands dirty.

Veronica (Community Clayworks) and Kevin & Alecia (The Pottery) will be judging.

Cost: Free

What to bring: A potluck dish to share

Whether you want to compete or just cheer others on, we’d love to have you there. Please let us know if you’re interested in participating
