Our Pottery Studio

Ceramics at Fabulous Farm is a teaching studio and shared artist’s work space. The studio is well equipped with two pottery wheels, a slab roller, an extruder, a blunger, large work table, a well stocked glaze room, two sinks with clay traps, a hepa-filter air purifier and two kilns. Our students and members bring their own hand tools and we are happy to share more obscure and less often used small tools, like the heat gun and bench grinder.

We lead pottery and ceramic art classes for children and adults. Our classes range from beginner to advanced. Learn how to hand build, wheel throw and even slipcast your clay dreams! Classes are scheduled here and there in our slow seasons. During the busy season we are making pottery for shows and sales, tending the chickens or building houses!

2026–2027 School Year

About pricing: Class fees are based on the number of students enrolled. Each session includes the full cost of an experienced instructor, so in a smaller class that cost is shared among fewer people, and you get more one-on-one time with your teacher.
