Adult Pottery Class

This class will inspire creativity while teaching both form and function to adults looking to learn how to work with clay on the potter’s wheel. In this four-week beginner pottery class, you will learn techniques for making mugs, vases, and bowls, including surface design and glazing. This class is open to all levels, ages 18 and up. This is a great opportunity for beginners or as a refresher for experienced potters. All materials and firing are provided. Students will create approximately 4 to 6 pieces to keep or give as a gift. Come join the fun!
Jennifer Thayer Karl is an Upper School Art Teacher and the Art Department Chair at PCD. She is a passionate potter and sculptor who brings her vibrant creativity to life both in the classroom and through her local art sales. With a deep love for clay, she is dedicated to fostering a sense of community by sharing the joy of pottery and sculpture with individuals of all ages. Her commitment to art extends beyond teaching; she creates a welcoming space where everyone can explore their creativity and connect through the transformative power of clay.

Parent & Child Clay Workshops

Join Jen Karl in the 3D Studio for a fun, hands-on clay workshop! Children and parents or special friends will explore the joy of working with clay as they learn to roll coils, pound slabs, and create pinch pots. When you register, you are signing up for BOTH you and your child.

Make unique gifts for friends and family, or craft something special to keep for yourself! Come ready to create, explore, and get a little messy! Let’s make wonderful memories together and create one-of-a-kind keepsakes to cherish forever!

Workshops are available for children in grades kindergarten through 4th and for kids in 5th grade and up, accompanied by an adult. Registration opens Friday, October 30, at 6pm.

(All work made will be left in the studio for firing and will be ready for pick up a couple weeks after the workshop.)
