Teachers and folks who work day jobs, YVC will be offering Functional Pottery as an evening class this winter. This is a fun way to earn some humanities credits, while learning to throw, glaze and fire bowls, vases, mugs and teapots. You’ll leave the class with knowledge of making and firing and lots of dishes, too!
