Krista Cameron Pottery

Potters can work on the wheel or by slab with guidance from the instructor, honing your throwing and/or handbuilding skills. We'll make all types of functional vessels of your choosing, then explore how to turn them into unique, creative and expressive pots. Bring your project ideas to class and we'll bring them to life.

Summer Edition: This class will explore projects that are great for plants, critters, and backyard gardening! Learn how to make things like wildlife feeders and homes (for bees, toads, birds and butterflies), custom planters & pots for your home, garden stakes and trellises and watering cans.

Anything is possible, everything is customizable!
