Ceramic Workshops in Tampa
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
June - PLATES (3 week)
This month’s workshop focuses on PLATES!
Students will learn to throw and shape functional plates with an emphasis on consistency, compression, and clean form. The workshop will cover techniques for creating flat, even surfaces, refining rims and foot rings, and preventing common issues like warping and cracking.
This workshop is ideal for students who have some wheel experience and want to strengthen fundamentals while improving control, symmetry, and confidence when working with wider forms.
