Service Description

Join us for a special pop-in pottery class, May 8th, the Friday before Mother’s Day from 6pm-8pm—designed for beginners and anyone ready to get their hands back on the wheel. In this relaxed, two-hour session, you’ll learn the basics of wheel throwing and experience the magic of shaping clay from start to finish. Bring your mom, your child, or someone who feels like family, and share a creative experience you’ll both remember. You’ll have the option to keep your favorite pieces—just choose your glaze, and we’ll handle the finishing touches for pickup a few weeks later. This session is open to adults and young potters ages 12 and up for this special event. Spots are limited, so grab a seat at the wheel and make something meaningful together. Please wear comfy clothes you don't mind getting a little messy and feel free to bring something to drink during the workshop. Courtesy coffee and hot tea is available at the studio. Due to the small workshop size, no refunds will be available for cancellations one week prior to the workshop date. Sassy Smyth is a local potter and has always been a lover of handmade pottery, but it wasn’t until the world began reopening after covid that she finally signed up for her first class at Create Pottery Studio. She quickly fell in love with both the process and the craft of pottery, diving headfirst into learning on the wheel and through hand building. Before long, nearly all of her free time was spent experimenting, practicing, and deepening her understanding of clay. Teaching classes and workshops brings together two of her favorite things: helping others and making pottery. She loves creating an encouraging, welcoming environment where students feel comfortable trying new things, embracing mistakes, and learning even when things don’t go as planned — because that’s where so much of the magic happens in pottery. She is drawn to learning and sharing knowledge and truly enjoys getting to share her love of making and learning with the Create community.
