Clay wheel throwing at Paradise Pottery Studio

Have you ever wanted to learn to throw pots on the potter's wheel? Or do you desire to improve your skills learning with a professional potter? It's fun! Come get dirty with us.

The class is taught at a working artist pottery, nestled in the Ozark Mountains only 1 mile from ESSA's campus, where functional and decorative wood fired stoneware and raku are made.
