Availability
Scott has many regular students who do not give up their space easily. Consequently, all of his classes are nearly or completely full and he has a substantial waitlist.
The waitlist is like a lottery. When a space opens up, an email notice is sent out to all on the waitlist and the spot is filled by the first people to reply.
Understand it could be a while before a notice is sent out. Most of the time the studio is at full capacity, but there are times when 1 or more spaces become available.

Class Description (for adults 18 and over only)
Beginning Students will learn techniques for throwing basic forms (bowls, plates, mugs, pitchers etc.) on the potter's wheel as well as hand-building techniques (pinch, coil, and slab-building) if desired.
For intermediate and advanced students, I will help you refine your existing skills and expand your possibilities of form on and off of the wheel.
