Pottery Class

Join us for a hands-on pottery class where participants will create a custom ceramic pet bowl from start to finish. Students will learn basic hand-building techniques and have the opportunity to personalize their piece by adding stamped or hand-formed lettering perfect for your pet’s name.

This class is offered in partnership with Artful Hearts, a special fundraising event supporting the collaboration between Tifton Council for the Arts and Tift Animal Rescue on July 24. Finished bowls will serve as meaningful, functional artwork that celebrates both creativity and care for animals in our community.

This is a family-friendly class open to both adults and children. An adult must accompany participants under 18.

All skill levels are welcome. Come create something practical, personal, and made with purpose.

TIMELINE:

This class includes two sessions. During the first session, participants will create their pottery pieces. The pottery will then dry for several days before undergoing its first kiln firing, followed by a cooling period. Once cooled and ready, participants will return for a second session to glaze their work. After glazing, the pieces will be fired a second time and cooled again over several days to complete the process. Attendance at the glazing session is optional; if a participant is unable to return, their pottery will automatically receive a clear glaze before the final firing.

Once the final firing and cooling are complete, participants will receive an email notification when their finished pottery is ready for pickup. Completed pieces can be collected from the TCA Office at 220 2nd St E.
