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 second of 4 sessions that will all focus on mastering fundamental principles of pottery. In this session we will be focused on creating mugs using several different methods and techniques.
