Get your hands dirty and celebrate Earth Day by crafting your very own handmade ceramic planter!

This beginner-friendly clay class is the perfect way to learn how to work with clay while creating a functional and artistic piece for your home or garden.

Guided by our expert instructor, you’ll explore the slab-building technique, a fundamental skill in DIY pottery, to shape and construct your planter. Along the way, you’ll gain hands-on experience with essential ceramics tools and techniques, incorporate texture templates and rollers for added detail, and use underglazes to bring color and personality to your design.

Whether you're new to pottery classes or looking to expand your skills, this ceramics workshop will give you the confidence to create and experiment. Once completed, your piece will be dried, kiln-fired, and ready to take home—just in time to plant something special!
