One Shot Class (Sundays)
One Shot class held on Sunday 5:30-8:00 pm. is a one-off class for beginners and first-timers. You get a wheel, clay, an instructor and 2.5 hours to try your hand at the pottery wheel. The wheel looks easy but it can seem to have a mind of its own. We do promise you'll have fun.
Obvara Workshop (November)
In this 4-hour workshop with DCC instructor Rachel Levine, students will learn the magic of Obvara firing. Developed in the 12th century Baltic, this traditional firing method involves heating pottery to red-hot and pulling it out of the kiln at peak temperature. Using tongs, students dip the glowing pot into a fermented flour mixture. After quenching the piece in a water, the pottery is left with splashes, drips, and dots of black, white, and tan.
