 Classes and workshops

1. Private classes

Private Pottery Class — $150

Looking for a creative outlet, a new skill, or just some hands-on fun? Anna’s private pottery class is a fully personalized 1.5–2 hour session designed just for you. Whether it’s your very first time touching clay or you’re looking to refine your technique, you’ll learn using Anna’s own approachable method — on the wheel, through hand building, or both.

Every stage of the pottery process is open to you: throwing, trimming, glazing, and finishing. Some students come for a single class to explore, while others return regularly to deepen their skills — a few have even gone on to pursue ceramics as a career.

All clay, tools, glaze, and firing are included. You can let Anna finish your pieces, or learn every step yourself. Either way, you’ll leave with more than pottery — you’ll take home the joy of creating something that’s truly yours.

2. Wheel throwing for two/Heart mugs for two

Couples Workshop: Mugs-on-the-Wheel — $190

Share a creative adventure with someone special in this playful, two-hour pottery workshop for two. Together, you’ll start with pulled handles and watch Anna’s lighthearted demo before taking turns on the wheel to throw your own mugs (or whatever the clay decides — though mugs are about 80% guaranteed!).

This experience is designed to be fun, relaxed, and beginner-friendly. Along the way, Anna will guide you with her approachable method, ensuring the process feels supportive and stress-free. As a bonus, you’ll also take home a special demo piece from Anna (Golem) as a keepsake.

All materials, trimming, glazing, and firing are included. Your finished mugs will be ready for pick-up in 3–4 weeks, giving you something to look forward to long after the clay dries))

Group workshops without the wheel - some examples

Looking for a creative outing with friends, family, or colleagues? This relaxed 2-hour pottery workshop is perfect for groups of 2–4 people. Together, you’ll explore the art of hand building — shaping clay into bowls, trays, cups, or decorative pieces without the wheel.

Anna will guide you step by step, making the process approachable and fun for everyone, whether it’s your first time or you’re returning to clay. The focus is on play, creativity, and enjoying the shared experience.

All clay, tools, glaze, and firing are included, and your finished pieces will be glazed in the colors you choose. Rates are prorated: 2 people $190, 3 people $255, 4 people $320.

A memorable way to connect, get muddy, and leave with handmade pieces you’ll treasure.

Nature impressions

I absolutely adore this workshop! Every session brings its own unique gifts, whether it's the blooming cherries, dandelions, lilacs, poppies, autumn leaves or evergreens. We can preserve the essence of each season in porcelain! This workshop is the easiest and most enjoyable one of them all. It always brings a smile to our faces and deepens our connection to mother nature.
