Question:

I'm trying to find a pottery class for my 16 year old daughter. Where do i look? I have looked for adult ed and enrichment classes and come up empty handed.

Answer:

I know what you mean. Finding local classes can be tough, especially in smaller towns. That's why I created this website.

Here are a couple of ideas. Look through the phone book (or internet) for ceramics galleries or pottery supply stores in your area.

Also, try contacting a local high school art or crafts teacher. They will be connected to what's going on locally.

Finally, you may have to travel a little ways to find a store or studio that offers classes. If the classes are just one day a week, then the drive isn't so bad.

Otherwise, buy a bag of clay for her to play with and have her check out the hand building projects under Beginning Projects.

Hope that helps,

Steve

P.S. I just did a little search online for pottery in Rochester. Have you checked out Artstream Studios? It looks like they have a handbuilding class.
