Pottery classes at Work In Progress are geared to all student levels. Whether you’ve had no experience with clay or you’ve been working with clay and just want an opportunity to get more practice in an instructor-led environment, there is something for you. Our classes are 4- or 8-week sessions. If you’re looking for shorter instructor led sessions, please see our Workshops page.
Registration opens 2 weeks before the first class in the session. If you don’t see the “Book Now” option, the class is not yet open for booking.
Please note that payment can only be accepted for one workshop or class per shopping cart transaction. This is a technical limitation and we’re working to find a solution, but for now, if you wish to sign up for more than one workshop or class, you’ll need to pay one at a time.
