Pottery Classes in Downtown Salida, Colorado

Whether you are completely new to ceramics, took a few classes in high school, or an experienced potter that wants to brush up on some skills, we can find a class for you here at the Maverick Potter!

2025 classes are closed.

All level wheel throwing courses will resume in 2026. Stay tuned and sign up for our newsletter to be the first to get announcements.

Our courses are suitable for all skills and experience levels. Our instructors create a friendly class experience where students learn the complete process of making ceramic pieces from start to finish.

Students will learn all about making pottery, from how to throw on the wheel to the complete glazing and firing process! Classes happen both at our downtown studio location and at our High Mountain Kiln operation at the Maverick Potter Home Studio.

Students will end up with a few fully finished ceramic pieces, and a ton of new ceramic knowledge!

Private Lessons are available year round!

A private lesson might be the way to go if you are in town for a limited amount of time or if you aren’t sure if the full course is right for you.
Purchase a gift card if you have flexibility or email for availability to confirm specific time prior to purchasing.
