Ceramics Classes in NYC

Prospective students across skill levels are invited to join our Adult Ceramics courses, in which burgeoning potters are introduced to the foundations of the medium—from using a pottery wheel to hand-sculpting and glazing—and intermediate students can take rudimentary practices to the next level by learning how to form handles, lids, spouts, and other finishing touches that elevate basic vessel forms. Advanced participants have the opportunity to customize their instructional experience based upon their interests and abilities. All levels are welcome.

  • Personalized instruction in a small group setting.
  • Weekday morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend classes are offered.
  • Please see the menu above under ‘Art School’ for our schedule at a glance, open studios, or for help with your registration.
  • Open Studio time is included at no additional cost. Ceramics students can attend 2 open studio sessions per week.
  • Shelf space is assigned to each student and is available at no cost.
  • 25 lbs. of clay and all studio glazes are available at no cost. Firing fees are $00.05 per cubic inch. Firing fees for bisque firings only.
