Our artist workshops provide deeper insights into practicing artists' lives and careers or hands-on experiences for those who are touching clay for the first time to experienced professionals looking to try new techniques in their studio practice. Workshops are offered year round, and we are currently planning our schedule for 2018. Sign up for our newsletter to stay up-to-date on all of our offerings!
