Classes & Open Studio
Whether you’re new to ceramics or an experienced artist, Muddy Waters offers classes for every skill level. Our guided classes focus on developing technique and creativity, while open studio sessions give independent artists the freedom to create using our shared resources and workspace.
All classes and open studio sessions are $250 for a 9-week course, which includes your first 25 lbs. of clay, as well as firing and glazing for your finished pieces.
Wheel Throwing Class
Our wheel throwing classes are a little messy — but that’s part of the fun. You’ll learn to be patient with yourself as you center the clay and shape it into beautiful forms. From trimming to glazing, our instructors offer hands-on guidance in a relaxed, supportive environment. Whether you’re a beginner sitting at the wheel for the first time or an experienced potter refining your craft, you’ll leave with muddy hands and a full heart.
Cost: $250 - Includes 1 bag of 25lbs of clay, glazing & firing
Dates: Starting Jan. 26th - 5 Week Course
Time: Mondays & Wednesdays - 6:30-9pm

Hand Building Class
In our hand building classes, you’ll explore classic techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab work to form pieces that are as expressive as they are functional. Each session invites you to slow down, experiment, and let your creativity lead. Our instructors will help you bring your ideas to life!
Cost: $250 - Includes 1 bag of 25lbs of clay, glazing & firing

Open Studio
