Introductory Clay Class

The perfect way to get your hands dirty, relax, and have fun! In this one-day introductory class, you'll learn the basics of throwing on the potter's wheel. If you successfully create a bowl, staff will glaze and fire it after the class is completed - all included in the price. If you'd like to take the piece home with you, you can come back and pick it up.

Along with your class comes complimentary admission to the Museum's galleries, where you can explore one of the largest collections of ceramic art in the United States. Our current exhibitions are Hot! & Ready to Serve: Celebrating Functional Ceramics, Currently: Artists in Residence, SoCal Critters: Howard Pierce, and A Traveler's Guide to Mettlach.
