Hello Potters!
The air is chilly, the lights are twinkling, and the studio is brimming with new opportunities to gather, create, and celebrate together. Here’s what’s happening this winter at Dover Pottery Studio - both inside the studio and out in the community.
New Classes & Workshops
We’re excited to introduce our latest offerings - fresh paths for creativity and growth.
- Beyond Beginner Wheel: Designed for those ready to take their throwing skills to the next level.

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
Pop-Up Pots are on-location, single-session handbuilding classes hosted at partner venues throughout the community. Each event features a guided clay project designed to be enjoyable for all levels — whether it’s your first time working with clay or you’re an experienced maker looking for a fun creative session. These workshops are a great way to sip cider, play with clay, and create something handmade to enjoy.
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 Cozy Mug on Saturday, December 6th. A great way to sip cider, play with clay, and create something handmade. Register online to join in.
Studio Events
Mark your calendars for Artist Sunday, November 30 from 10am–2pm. It’s our pottery sale timed with the nationwide movement to shop handmade and local. A wonderful opportunity to browse one-of-a-kind pieces handcrafted by our membership. Drop in, meet the makers, and support your fellow potters in our community.
Festivals ~ Fairs ~ Markets
We love when clay meets community! This season, we’re proud to participate in the North Country Cider Winter Market on Saturday, 12/13 from 12–5 p.m., where we’ll be part of the creative buzz alongside makers, cider, and good company. Come join us there to see what we’ve been making, and maybe shape something on the spot!
Our mission goes beyond the wheel. We’ll be supporting the Dover Food Pantry through the “Main Street Food Drive”—please bring a non-perishable item when you visit the studio or attend one of our classes to help give back. Your participation makes a difference!
Additionally, save the date for Festival of Trees Friday, 12/5 from 4-8 p.m. at the Rivermill at Dover Landing (2 Washington Street). We’ll have a special display and involvement in the festivities—come say hello and see our community spirit in action.
We can’t wait to welcome you back into the studio, to the wheel, and out in the community. Thank you for being part of the creative, caring, and vibrant family that is Dover Pottery Studio. Whether you’re rolling some clay or rolling into a market, we’re thrilled you’re here.
Warmly,
Kim & the Dover Pottery Studio Team
