We are taking the summer of 2012 off to do some much delayed remodeling. Please check back with us for the summer of 2013.



Tracy working in the studio summer 05We offer two two-week long workshops every summer, devoted to throwing on the potters wheel, with emphasis on functional pottery.



Our aim is to provide a concentrated, supportive atmosphere for both those seeking an introduction to ceramics as well as more seasoned practitioners wanting to expand their skills and confidence.
