Workshops
Sol City Clay will offer a diverse range of classes designed to accommodate individuals at all skill levels, fostering a supportive and creative environment for pottery enthusiasts.
Introduction workshops are now available in Mesa! Additional offerings will be available soon.
Workshop Types
Introductory
Sol City offers beginner-friendly workshops, no prior experience required. Our Introduction to Wheel Throwing class teaches the fundamentals of working on the wheel, while Ceramic Bootcamp gives you an overview of wheel throwing, trimming, and hand-building.
Six-week Sessions
For those looking for a more immersive and structured ceramics experience, our six-week courses offer an in-depth exploration of clay through focused weekly topics including wheel throwing, hand-building, surface decoration, glazing, and more. Designed for a range of skill levels — from complete beginners to experienced makers — these small-group courses are built to help students grow their creativity, confidence, and technical skills in a supportive studio environment.
Six Week Late summer sessions start soon - but its not too late to join in the fun!
Schedule: workshop meets on the scheduled day and for the following five weeks at the same day and time (unless noted). Each session is 2.5 hours, for a total of 15 hours of studio time. Book only if you can attend at least 5 of the 6 classes in the series.
*Workshops open to students 15 years or older!
Family
Our family workshops are about making memories while making art, whether you’re bringing the kids, planning a date night, or enjoying a creative outing with friends. Perfect for beginners or anyone new to ceramics, these sessions offer a seasonally rotating selection of fun, approachable projects you can complete in just one class. Come ready to get your hands dirty, try something new, and take home a piece that’s uniquely yours.
Family Workshop Guidelines
• Children age 7 or younger must have a caregiver present to assist with the project. A ticket is only required for the adult if they also want to make their own piece.
• Children age 8 or older must have a caregiver present for the full class. Most students in this age range can work independently, but adults are encouraged to purchase a ticket and join in because creating together is part of the fun.
• Students age 15 or older may attend without a caregiver.
*Seating is limited for our workshops. Out of consideration for our studio members, please ensure that only enrolled students, or individuals assisting younger children, attend the workshop.
