Pottery & Hand-Building Classes

Toronto’s best clay classes for Teens start with Intro to Pottery, where you’ll explore the essentials of both hand-building and pottery skills. You can also choose either a focused Hand-Building class, where you’ll imaginatively sculpt and construct with clay, or a Pottery Wheel class to develop your abilities to throw pots, plates and vases. You can also try pottery in our Workshops.
