Adult Classes
All Classes are canceled until further notice.
We're hoping to open for our regular Fall session starting in October.
Register early to ensure your spot! Wheel and Hand building classes are offered during Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. Classes are held at the Waterloo Potters’ Workshop at the Eby Farmhouse in Waterloo Park. Each course is 8 nights over 9 weeks: six weeks working with clay, one week off for pots to dry and get their first firing, one week to glaze and an exciting final night to review your work and celebrate with classmates. Class nights run from 7-10pm.
Please sign up for a fall, winter, spring or summer class, or find a class with one of our member potters offering classes in Waterloo Region: Sculption, Mermaid Springs Pottery, and L'Abbé Pottery are a few.

Handbuilding Class
This course covers essential handbuilding techniques for creating both decorative and functional pieces. You learn how to use slabs, molds, coils, pinch pots, handles, decorative effects and more to create bowls, serving dishes, mugs or decorative objects. With handbuilding you have more time to focus on decoration and play with form. Handbuilding and wheel techniques can later be combined for endless possibilities.
Wheel Class
Learn to throw on the wheel. Start with bowls, mugs, and progress to plates or larger objects. Learn techniques for creating and attaching handles. If you’re very ambitious you might want to make a teapot!
Class Sizes are small each class has space for 8 participants in wheel and 10 in handbuilding. We need to fill classes in order to run them, so feel free to bring a friend, family member or fellow enthusiast! Spaces fill quickly, so to avoid disappointment, remember to email or send in a form with payment asap.
