Let's get creative and explore pottery techniques without a wheel. Meet Chris Gallup of Big G Pottery to enjoy this hands-on experience for adults & teens. Don't get mad, get dirty. Throw pots!

Hand building pottery predates the pottery wheel and allows for a more personal, organic approach to creating ceramics, using techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab building. Let's get down to earth with Chris Gallup of Big G Pottery and experience the joy of creating with our hands!

All materials provided; limited to the first 10 participants. Please wear appropriate clothing for clay- expect to get messy.

AGE GROUP: | Teens (12-18 years) | Adults (19 and up) |
