Each student will proudly come out of class with at least one or two ceramic pieces that they built themselves. Ceramic artists and experienced teachers, Mindy Curran & Ben Alexander, will facilitate this class.
Join us and get down and dirty with our paint pour class. We'll teach you three techniques then set you free to create your masterpiece. Cost is $35 per person. This class is super beginner friendly and open to all ages!
