Functional Tableware
An Intermediate Wheel Class

Have you ever wanted to create your own tableware?

Join this four-week class to learn how to make plates, bowls, and cups/mugs.

Under expert guidance, inspired by a deep dive into the design and functionality of handmade ceramics, you’ll explore wheel-throwing techniques, craft durable and functional pieces, and create your personalized dinnerware set.  At the end of the course, you’ll walk away with a beautiful set of tableware and the skills to continue your pottery journey.

About the Instructor
Tara Spires-Bell discovered ceramics in 2014 when her mother passed away from cancer. She wanted to make an urn for her and soon fell in love with everything about pottery. She says she likes to think that her mother brought her to this creative outlet. She learned the basics from the Hoffman Center and deepened pottery skills in a work exchange with Ken at Horseshoe Gallery in June Lake, California.

She enjoys creating pottery that highlights the natural color of the clay body alongside vibrant glazes. Her current work is inspired by the PNW coastal palette, especially the shades of the ocean, forest, and sky. She also has a special fondness for the mushrooms, mosses, and fungi that grow and spore along the forest floor.
