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
April - Bowl Basics (3 week)
~sold out~
This three-week workshop is focused entirely on bowls—arguably the most useful and deceptively difficult form in ceramics. You’ll work through consistent forms, refined rims, and intentional proportions while building repeatable skills on the wheel.
Each week builds on the last, with time for demonstration, guided practice, and thoughtful feedback. This workshop is ideal for students who have some wheel experience and want to strengthen fundamentals, improve control, and leave with a small set of bowls that actually feel finished.
Clay, tools, and firings are included. Finished pieces will be glazed and fired, with pickup scheduled once they’re ready.
