THURSDAYS

MAY 14 - JULY 2

Are you curious about handbuilding with clay? In this 8-week pottery course, you will focus on refining and expanding your skills in coiling, pinching, and slab construction techniques. You will learn how to create simple and complex forms, experiment with different textures and patterns, and develop your own unique style. It’s preferred for students to come with projects and ideas, but the teacher will meet each student where they are at. 

All firing and materials are included in the course. Enrolled students are also invited to participate in our Open Studio on Saturdays 9am-5pm.

Best for

All skill levels welcome. These classes may also be repeated, the instructors will skillfully meet the needs of all levels.

Stephanie Evans

she/her

Stephanie earned her BFA in Ceramics from Plymouth State University in 2005 and began her journey in clay as an apprentice with a potter in New Hampshire. She then moved to Florida for an artist residency at a truly unique gallery, where her early work focused on personal exploration and alternative firing techniques.

After her first daughter was born, Stephanie and her husband returned home to Maine. Today, their life is full of family and activity with two daughters, four cats, one lively dog, and a flock of chickens. She loves spending time at home in her garden when she’s not working with clay.

For the past eight years, Stephanie worked as a production potter in NH, where she learned to repair electric kilns, explored glaze chemistry, and developed new lines of work. While the experience was invaluable in strengthening her skills, she is now excited to return to a more creative, inclusive and community-oriented clay space—one that allows her to reconnect with her personal voice and shape the next chapter of her clay journey.
