A beginning clay class for learning a slab/coil combination. Because it is easier to handle a small amount of clay, this pot will be small.  But, it will be big enough to hold a small succulent - and it will be provided for your finished project!

Since these pots will be fired twice, registrants will need to attend a second session to complete the process.  This date will be set at the first class.

All materials and supplies will be there for you to use and are included in the price of registration.
