Join us on the 2nd Saturday of each month for our newest offering…

Make Cool Stuff Club!

Get signed up here!

We have a passionate group of potters here who are eager and ready for fun challenges to dive into, and we’re totally into it! We’d like to invite experienced students and newcomers to join us in the studio to set goals, push limits, and make cool stuff together.

Eric will have 6 wheel spots available, and Milissa will open up 6 spots at the tables for involved hand building projects. Our plan is to explore what’s possible with clay within a friendly, relaxed small group setting that encourages experimentation and learning. Our hope is to gather an enthusiastic group of potters who want to build skills over time, make some new pottery friends, and be able to apply the new techniques and ideas they’ve learned to their own personal practice.

Eric and Milissa will come up with the first projects for January, and then take suggestions for projects going forward in the coming months. You can expect exciting projects that have a solid lesson plan. Think lamps, lidded cookie jars with twist, serving dishes with fun sculptural elements, scrafitto, etc…

We will have to build in some glaze days, and that can be discussed once we all get together.

Wheel Experience Required:
You must be able to center, and pull a 6-8” cylinder on your own.

Table Experience Required:
You must have a basic understanding of foundational hand-building techniques like pinching, coils, and slab building. You should have a solid understanding of clay behavior.

The club will meet on the second Saturday of each month consistently, with the exception of February _ Valentines Day, and October when we host our biggest annual event – Rhythm + Raku Fest. For February and October, the club will convene on the third Saturday to accommodate the festivities.

While checking out you will have the option to subscribe monthly to secure your spot in the club, or pay for one month at a time. If you choose to the subscription option, please note that you will be charged each month on the date you sign up, but there is no obligation or penalty to cancel - you can do so at anytime.

First Club session will be held on February 21st | 10am-3pm

You are welcome to bring lunch or snacks with you. We always have water, tea, and coffee to keep you happy and hydrated.

We’re genuinely excited to see what you nd to share in the joy of making pottery together!
