These multi-week pottery workshops are for students who want to slow down and go deeper. Led by Haley at our Seminole Heights studio in Tampa, each workshop focuses on a specific skill or theme and unfolds over several weeks. Topics change monthly, but the goal stays the same: thoughtful making, real instruction, and time at the wheel that actually sticks

July - LIDDED VESSELS (3 week)
This month’s workshop focuses on Lidded Vessels!
From kitchen canisters to decorative jars, students will learn the skills needed to create functional vessels with custom fitted lids. Throughout the workshop, we’ll explore techniques for throwing both the body and lid, creating galleries, refining details, and achieving precise fit.
This workshop is not meant for beginners— it is intended for individuals who have wheel experience and want to strengthen fundamentals while developing greater control, symmetry, and confidence when working with complex functional forms.
