There was a LOT of clay happening at The Maker’s Circle this summer! 👐✨

We had two lesson pottery classes for adults, an exciting Raku experience with fire and all, and even a special kids pottery class!

There is just something about getting your hands into a lump of clay and watching it slowly become something completely your own. It is messy, relaxing, creative and maybe just a little bit addictive. 😆

And if you missed out this summer, you’re in luck!

Our next **4 week pottery class starts October 9**! Come learn, create, experiment and get your hands in the clay with us. No need to be a pottery expert. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to get a little messy!

We’d love to have you join us! 🏺✨

Come drop into The Maker’s Circle to see what’s new! Shop for gifts & greeting cards, sign up for a class, or drop in to do some art!

So much here to see and be inspired by!
