Looking to get your hands into clay this fall? Good news! We’re offering two sessions of Adult Clay this semester—one on Wednesdays and one on Thursdays—with our incredible clay instructors, Dana Rothe and Mackenzie Sheehan-D’Arrigo.

Whether you’re new to clay or looking to build on your existing skills, you’ll have the opportunity to learn and practice wheel throwing, hand building, and glazing. Students also have access to open clay lab on Fridays, providing additional time to work independently in the studio.

And there’s even more to love about clay at REACH! Thanks to our pug mill, students have access to unlimited reclaimed clay. We’re also introducing a new glaze palette this fall, featuring beautiful and unique colors to explore.
