Fired student work, ready for pick up.
Thanks to the search phrase "pottery classes near me," my Saturday and Sunday Classes for two are booking like hotcakes. You and a loved one or friend come to the studio, and I'll teach you a fun and easy way to make lovely functional plates. The two of you chat while creating memories and a unique line of dinnerware and platters for sharing food and meals that will only lead to more fun.
Each person gets a slab of clay, about 3' x 2', to decorate by pressing a range of stamps, stencils, or block prints, into the clay. Using forms, you'll squish your plates into existence by pressing the shape into a thick piece of foam, forcing the clay to hug the form. You make the pottery; I'll glaze and fire it. Your pottery will be ready for pickup the following week.
Class are for two (email me to add a third or fourth person). Bring your spouse, you best friend, your mom or dad, your child or grandchild.
As you can see you’ll be able to make enough plates to keep and gift to friends and family, all microwave and dishwasher safe.
Smoothing the back of her piece so it won’t scratch the furniture.
Geared toward the clay-curious, the class is suitable for first-timers and children over 10. Give a class as a gift or use it to celebrate newlyweds, a 9th wedding anniversary, a weekend date, a sober curious outing, Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day, Palentine's Day, a birthday, or explore something new. Classes are $100.00 per person. Sign up and schedule a class for two people on the class page. Contact me if you'd like a class for three or four people.
"Highly recommend! My friend and I spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon with Marina for a private pottery class. Hospitality, fun conversation, and kind, professional guidance as we created our MANY plates and trays. This class would be a great creative experience to combine with a stay at the super cool Heights House hotel two blocks away. Also, the studio is an easy walk to Wye Hill restaurant, so weekend brunch/lunch and this class would be a nice downtown Raleigh pairing!"
