I started doing pottery here. I took a class and learned all the fundamentals of wheel throwing. I just threw my first successful mug and will be taking another wheel throwing class in the future.

Pottery Mill is just the best place for makers to make, and meet people along the way! The classes are long enough to really progress your skill with clay, or do a workshop to just get a feel for it.
Chelsi has made an open space for everyone who wants to make pottery and has a huge kiln, wheels, high fire clay/glazes, etc. Memberships are affordable and I enjoy every visit. I feel so lucky to have found this space.

The Pottery Mill is amazing! Ive taken a one-time wheel throwing workshop with my husband, a 6 week wheel throwing class, and Ive also become a member. The space has everything you need, the community is welcoming, and Lauren and Chelsi are great instructors. Great for beginners and advanced potters. Check it out!
