I want to recommend a wonderful, affordable, local studio to anyone w/kids interested in clay, pottery, etc.  This place is a treasure!  They have numerous classes available for homeschoolers, too!

Every Wednesday is "Kid's Day" and it's 50%-off all fees.
Every Friday is "Family Day" and it's, again, 50%-off all fees.

They have ongoing classes all year-long.
They are locally-owned and it's just a gorgeous studio, run by a mom!

If you've ever wanted to dig your hands into some clay and spin a pottery wheel, glaze your masterpiece and fire it in a kiln . . . check this place out!  

The Fall Schedule is finally available - yay!
