Spend an evening on the sandy shore of Lake Superior creating your own handmade ceramic mugs in a relaxed outdoor pottery class. We’ll gather on the beach to shape clay by hand, take inspiration from the landscape around us, and slow down for a few hours beside the water. Tiny spinning planet, giant lake, clay.
This class is beginner-friendly and designed to be approachable, calming, and creative. You do not need prior clay experience.

You’ll learn foundational hand building techniques to create functional ceramic mugs while enjoying the outdoors and the atmosphere of the lake. The class will include demonstrations, guidance throughout the process, and time to experiment with texture and form in your own style.
