Pottery: Kitchen Table Ceramics (Ella Baker)
No studio? No problem! Kitchen Table Ceramics proves you don’t need a fancy setup to create beautiful pottery. Learn how to create a compact, affordable workspace at home, explore hand-building techniques, and find budget-friendly supplies. We’ll break down the essentials—clay types, glazes, firing options, and key safety tips—so you can confidently craft from your own table. Whether you're a total beginner or a DIY maker, this class gives you everything you need to start creating ceramics at home. Come play with clay, get messy, and have fun making with me!
*Note: I’ll provide you with all the knowledge and experience you need to create your own home set up and the clay to make a couple projects. You get to source, build, and customize your tools for working at your own kitchen table.
