Come be part of the pottery community at GAC! Adult Pottery is a class where you can develop or refine your skills on the wheel or with hand-building techniques—whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced potter! This 10-week, multi-level class is open to adults and mature high school students, and offers a flexible learning experience tailored to a variety of skill levels.

Beginners will focus on essential techniques like centering clay on the wheel, throwing basic pots, handbuilding, and learning foundational glazing methods. For intermediate and advanced students, the class provides a great opportunity to deepen your expertise, refine your technique, and explore new creative possibilities. Plus, you'll have access to 6 hours per week of open studio time to practice and work on your projects outside of class.

This is a fantastic chance to build your skills at a great value, with individualized instruction and a collaborative, supportive environment. While materials and firing fees are not included, the knowledge and experience you'll gain over 10 weeks will be well worth the investment. Whether you're looking to start from scratch or take your pottery to the next level, this class offers something for everyone!

Beginner Printmaking: Your gateway to a new (ancient) art form

This class will give students the fundamentals of printmaking, with the goal of making the artform accessible to all, even those who do not think of themselves as “artists.” We would work on monotype (both trace and traditional) and linocut. Half of the sessions would be devoted to monotype and half to linocut, giving students an introduction to printmaking techniques, the time to build their skills and confidence, and the opportunity to get creative and play with these processes. This class would be heavily guided, while encouraging individuality of each student.

This class is for adults and mature teenagers of all skill levels and includes 6 hours a week of open studio time. All materials are included.

This class is scheduled to be in our print studio, which is only accessible by stairs.
