Led by ceramic artist and educator Catherine Wiesener, this workshop offers an opportunity to experiment with clay, learn new techniques, and connect with others through creative making. Whether you're new to ceramics or looking to expand your skills, all are welcome.

Space is limited to 10 participants, and advance registration is required.
