There's something so good about sitting at a wheel with a lump of clay and no idea what it's going to become. Our next session of classes start August 3, and there's a spot for you whether you've never touched clay or you've been coming back for years. Beginners are genuinely welcome here, not just in the brochure sense. Registration for classes opens July 14 at willametteartcenter.com. #pottersofinstagram #oregonpotters #Oregon #salemoregon #oregonpottery
