1 day class

We begin by introducing you to the basic skills and techniques of wheel-thrown pottery. We also explain types and sources of clay as well as clay preparation. You will prepare clay and then shape it into a basic cylinder using the potter’s wheel.

This class is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

We will contact you when your pottery pieces have been fired and are ready to be picked up. (We’ll be happy to ship your pieces to you, if you prefer. However, there will be an additional shipping charge of $21.00 for us to do so.) Please contact the Potters’ House at (254) 754-9656 if you have any questions about this.

All our classes close 24 hours before the class date with the exception of classes that start on Monday, which will close the Friday before. If there’s a class that closed early that you’d like to attend, please call us at 254-754-9620 to check for availability.

Note: Since our workshops are specifically designed for adults, an individual must be 18 years old to enroll in a class. All students should wear practical work clothes and shoes. For your safety, we ask that you do not wear shorts or sandals to a class you are attending.

Hailey Scarborough

When Hailey first saw pottery demonstrated at age 9, she was hooked. Not to be daunted by her first project, a self-proclaimed flop, Hailey has been perfecting her skills ever since. At age 18 she began a four-year apprenticeship with Homestead Pottery, where she continues to be employed. She demonstrates pottery skills for thousands of visitors who visit the Homestead Craft Village every year, as well as producing fine pottery pieces for restaurants and retail shops.
