Teen Pottery Club: Volume 1
Come join us for some continuing pottery education! This class is designed to be a continuation of previous pottery classes offered at the MINT. Some experience/ enrollment in previous courses is required. This course is open to students aged 12-15 who have an interest in expanding their pottery experience. This is the first of 4 sessions that will all focus on mastering fundamental principles of pottery. In this first session we will be focused on creating beautiful one-of-a-kind gifts out of clay for this holiday season.
