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!
Start 2026 off right by getting muddy.
All level wheel throwing courses will resume February 12, 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: how to wedge the clay, how to throw and trim on the wheel, and complete the process with glazing and firing. 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. We can accommodate groups of up to 6.
