$165.00

  • Ages 16 and up are welcome

  • Cost: $150 + $15 materials

Ready to level up your pottery skills?

Join Karis for a fun, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to throw two different types of lids on the pottery wheel.

In the first two sessions, you’ll practice making lidded forms and learn how to trim them for a perfect fit. Then in the third session, you’ll glaze your finished pieces and get them ready for the kiln.

Whether you're new to lids or just want to refine your technique, this workshop is a great way to expand your pottery know-how!

What students are saying about this teacher:

“In the brief couple of Saturdays I have really come to appreciate not only Karis’ patient instruction, but the sense of community that permeates the building. Being among people who are so joyfully participating in the artistic process is uplifting. Everyone is so willingly helpful, it fills my heart!” -Chris and Beth

About the Instructor:

Karis has been making a living as a potter for over 40 years, selling at art fairs and through galleries. She took an adult education class in MA one winter and bought a pottery wheel before she could even throw a good pot, thinking it would be a hobby. After taking more classes at some museum schools in the Boston area, she bought a kiln and hasn't looked back.

When making her pottery her goals are to make something useful and to give visual pleasure. Her work has been influenced by living and traveling in Southeast Asia and Europe. But it is also influenced by her Norwegian ancestry which gives her an affinity for the clean Scandinavian sense of design in regard to form, as well as the Norwegian love of nature.

Class Cancellations and Absence

Refunds minus a 10% or $20 processing fee (whichever is lower) are offered until 14 days before the start of class. After that, we do not offer refunds. We don’t offer refunds for missed classes, so please be sure you can attend all sessions of a class, or that you are okay with missing any that you’ll be away for.
