Hello Potters!
The air is crisp, the leaves are turning, and the studio is full of new opportunities to gather, create, and celebrate together. Here’s what’s happening this season at Dover Pottery Studio—both inside the studio and out in the community.
New Classes & Workshops
We’re excited to offer a fresh lineup of creative classes this fall!
- Explore Wheel: Single session to give the wheel a try - we fire and glaze your piece for you to pick up later.
- 2-Week Class – Throw & Trim: Short and sweet. Throw a piece on the wheel, then return in a week to trim and decorate
- 3-Week Class - Make-a-Mug: Perfect for beginners and anyone who wants to craft a cozy companion for their favorite fall drinks
- Clay Whistle Workshop: Explore ancient musical traditions and create your own handmade instrument
Spots for these classes tend to fill quickly, so be sure to check our classes page and register to save your spot.
Pop-Up Pots
Clay & Cider is our fun, social pottery event on location at North Country Hard Cider—perfect for a relaxed creative afternoon with friends. Come and create a Spooky Halloween Luminary on Saturday, October 11th. On Saturday, November 8th, we’ll create Medallion Serving Bowls —a beautiful addition to your holiday table. These workshops are a great way to sip cider, play with clay, and create something handmade to enjoy.
