About the Workshop

Who: Perfect for families, besties, and budding artists ages 12 and up! No prior experience is needed; we will be right there to offer tips and help your imagination come to life.
-
The Setting: Our workshop takes place inside our active working studio —the historic heart of Queenston Pottery, where we have been handcrafting fine pottery for 48 years.
