Call to Register

$15 / hour per person

Wednesday, November 12
3:00 – 5:00 pm


Explore your creativity in our Open Pottery sessions with instructor Mary Mertes! Learn handbuilding, glazing, or wheel techniques in a relaxed studio setting — all skill levels welcome.

Activities in the pottery studio include using the pottery wheel (Intro to the Pottery Wheel course required), hand building with clay, and glazing pottery.

Only clay purchased at Olio or clay having prior instructor approval may be used. This will protect the kiln and others’ artwork during kiln firing.

Attendees are required to clean up their space after each use.

RESERVATIONS REQUIRED First-come/first-served. Reservations must be made by 10:00 am day of and indicate pottery wheel, hand-building with clay, trimming or glazing. If needed, please call in as far in advance as possible to cancel the reservation. An individual from the waiting list will be moved into the Open Studio.

  • All levels welcome. Children age 15 and younger need to be accompanied by an adult or receive prior approval.

  • All supplies provided. Aprons will be provided as this can be a messy process.

  • Limited availability. Please call Olio to check for openings.
    When registering, let the front desk know whether you’d like to work on handbuilding, trimming, or glazing.
    Participants who have completed the Intro to the Pottery Wheel class may also choose to use the wheel during their session.
