Pottery Classes
Our pottery classes are the most popular way to begin (or deepen) your work with clay. Taught in small groups by experienced instructors, each class balances hands-on time at the wheel or worktable with the careful technique and guidance that has defined Glotfelty Pottery from the start.
Overview
At Glotfelty Pottery, instruction is at the heart of what we do. Whether you are touching clay for the first time or refining techniques you have practiced for years, our classes and workshops are designed to meet you where you are and move you forward.
Rooted in a lifelong commitment to perfecting the craft, our programs reflect our core values: craftsmanship, mastery, welcoming community, and creative growth. We believe functional pottery should be beautiful and enduring, and we believe the people who make it deserve thoughtful, patient guidance from instructors who genuinely care about their progress.
From a single introductory class to multi-week intermediate sessions, open studio access for working students, private one-on-one instruction, group events, and professional workshops, there is a place here for makers of every skill level.
