Pottery Classes with Kelly Price
Learn Pottery Your Way
Whether you're touching clay for the first time or have years of experience behind the wheel, Kelly Price creates classes that meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence.
With more than 40 years of experience as a potter, Kelly brings a deep knowledge of ceramic techniques, materials, and processes to every class. From wheel throwing and handbuilding to glazing, surface decoration, slips, and sgraffito, she can help students explore virtually any aspect of pottery that interests them.
But what makes Kelly's classes special isn't just her experience—it's her approach. Every student learns differently, and Kelly tailors each class to the goals, interests, and pace of the people in the room.
Whether you want structured instruction, demonstrations of specific techniques, guided projects, or simply a knowledgeable mentor nearby while you work, Kelly can create the experience that's right for you.
A Personalized Learning Experience
Kelly believes pottery should be both educational and enjoyable.
Before and during class, she takes time to learn what students want to accomplish and adjusts her teaching accordingly. Some students prefer step-by-step instruction and demonstrations. Others enjoy a more open studio environment where they can work independently while asking questions as they arise.
Kelly is attentive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed. She is known not only for her technical knowledge, but also for creating a welcoming atmosphere where people feel comfortable experimenting, learning, and having fun.
Many students return week after week because classes feel less like a formal lesson and more like a creative community.
