Workshops

Seatown Pottery offers beginner-friendly workshops, no prior experience required. Our Introduction to Wheel Throwing class teaches the fundamentals of working on the wheel, while Ceramic Bootcamp gives you a comprehensive overview of wheel throwing, trimming, hand-building, and glazing.

For a more structured learning path, our six-week courses explore key aspects of ceramics, with weekly focuses like wheel throwing, hand-building, surface decoration, and glazing. Sessions are offered for a range of skill levels, from complete beginners to advanced makers.

Our family workshops are about making memories while making art, whether you’re bringing the kids, planning a date night, or enjoying a creative outing with friends. Perfect for beginners or anyone new to ceramics, these sessions offer a seasonally rotating selection of fun, approachable projects you can complete in just one class. Come ready to get your hands dirty, try something new, and take home a piece that’s uniquely yours.

At 24hr Pottery, we love offering workshops that help everyone grow as artists and explore new ways of working with clay. Our specialty workshops focus on a specific project or technique, giving you the chance to learn new skills and add innovative techniques to your creative toolkit. We offer specialty workshops for both beginners and those with prior ceramic experience, with each session limited to 10 students for plenty of individual guidance.

Seatown Pottery offers monthly, member-exclusive workshops designed to support all skill levels and interests. Held at any of our locations, these small-group sessions provide personalized guidance, opportunities to learn from skilled instructors, and space to connect with fellow members.

Experience the process of Raku in our hands-on workshop, where you glaze and fire your own bisque pieces using traditional methods. For those curious about unique surface finishes and experimental kiln techniques, this is a chance to see how alternative firings differ from the traditional approach and try them for yourself. Bring up to four bisqued pieces, choose from a selection of Raku glazes, and watch your pottery transform through fire-driven effects.

Share snacks and conversation as we gather around the kiln, talk about the craft, and enjoy the moment your work emerges from the fire. You will leave with your finished pieces the same day.
