    Wheel Throwing 101 is where it all begins. Over six weeks you'll learn to center, open, and pull clay into functional forms while building the foundational skills that every wheel thrower returns to no matter how advanced they get. We'll also cover trimming, basic surface decoration, and glazing so you leave with finished pieces and a real understanding of the full process from raw clay to fired pot. No experience necessary. Just show up ready to get muddy.

    Come ready to get messy. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty; don't worry about clay on your clothes - it washes right off! Most importantly, come ready to have fun! Students with all level of experience are welcome.

    This class is taught by Lynn Cardwell. Lynn has over 10 years of experience in pottery and education.

    Through the 6-week hand-building ceramics class (101 series), students will learn the fundamentals of working with clay including knowledge and understanding of pinch, slab, coil techniques, and surface decoration.

    The skills acquired in this course will serve as the hand-building foundation on which you may take more advanced classes and/or learn in open studio time.

    Bring your ideas (and your questions) to life in this open practice with an instructor on hand.

    Not quite a class, not quite open studio — Open Guided Practice is the best of both. Bring your own project or come without a plan. An instructor is on hand to answer questions, troubleshoot, or pull a quick demo on whatever you need — whether that's trimming, pulling handles, hand-building a lid, or finally figuring out that glaze situation.

    Silversmithing 101


    Demystify the jewelry bench! This class will open up a world of opportunities in fine metalworking.

    This is the class I wish I had available to me when I started making fine jewelry. Let me save you lots of trial and error! Fine metalworking is a useful set of skills for any maker to have, not just those interested in jewelry. This class is a great place to start.

    In this course, you will learn silversmithing primarily by doing, but the lessons will be grounded in some basic (and I mean basic!) chemistry and physics so that you can better understand how the metal behaves under your tools. 

    The 4-session structure of the course will be as follows:

    Day 1: foundational knowledge + some introductory hands-on work

    Day 2: raw material manipulation, safe and effective torch use, pouring ingots, rolling out square wire

    Day 3: forming square wire into a ring with an eye toward minimizing surface marring, soldering with a torch

    Day 4: surface cleanup, buffing + polishing and/or brushed/hammered/textured finishing

    You will walk away with a basic round ring, as well as a wishbone ring to show for your efforts!

    No jewelry experience is necessary or assumed. This class begins with the very basics.

    Skills You'll Learn

    - melting down metals into usable stock
    - soldering (joining) pieces of metal to each other
    - forming soft metal into desired shapes without scuffing it
    - creating a variety of visual effects on the surface of metal
    - buffing and polishing
    - work-hardening and annealing (how to adapt to changes in the metal's structure as you work)
    - basic chemistry jewelry makers should know


    In this class, you'll have an opportunity to learn a variety of jeweler's hand tools (files, pliers, saws), torches, the bench buffer, as well as the rotary tool and its various bits.

    What to Bring/Wear

    Closed-toe shoes required. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is provided.

    Refund Policy

    Up To 1 Day Before the Event Starts

    TAll members who want to use the new Ceramics studio will need to be oriented to the new space, policies, and processes that will make this a wonderful place to create.... and this includes members who were already oriented to the old studio.

    The general orientation will orient you with the Twin Cities Maker (TCM) as a whole, while our TCM Ceramics (TCMC) orientation will focus specifically on the processes and procedures in our ceramics studio. We recommend completing the general orientation before the ceramics orientation. You do not need to attend orientation before taking a class or workshop.  However, orientation is a requirement to keep using the studio after a class or workshop ends.

    Our ceramics orientation will cover: 

    • Our Safety and Firing Policy
    • Consumables (clay, glaze, firing)
    • Reserving Tools
    • TCMC Member Storage
    • Classes vs. Sign-Offs (the sign-offs allow you to bypass our mandatory 101 classes through a portfolio review)
    • ... and most importantly: a Studio Tour!!!

    NOTE: *You must attend the general Twin Cities Maker Orientation ("New Member Orientation") in addition to our Ceramics Studio Orientation.* 

    Questions or trouble signing up for this orientation? Email ceramics@tcmaker.org

    We will be meeting in our new studio in the annex. Come prepared to ask questions and have fun!

    Slipcast & Handbuilt Pumpkins Workshop

    Slipcasting pumpkins: join this one‑day workshop to cast, carve, and customize ceramic pumpkins and jack-o'-lanterns.

    About this Class

    Slipcasting gives you a repeatable, almost magical way to shape clay, and this one‑day workshop is designed to show you how accessible and empowering the process can be. You’ll learn to pour, release, and refine forms while also handbuilding details that make each piece uniquely yours. Whether you’re new to clay or expanding your studio skills, you’ll end up with a finished ceramic pumpkin, a working understanding of molds, and the confidence to keep exploring slipcasting at home or in the studio.

    For glaze application and final firing of the work you produce in this class, you have three options:

    1. JJ will complete a basic glaze and glaze firing for scheduled pick-up.

    2. A discounted rate for the subsequent glazing workshop.

    3. TCMC members may choose to glaze their work independently in our studio.

    Please note: This is not a mold-making class, as we will be using existing molds provided by the instructor. If you are interested in mold-making, look for JJ's "Cast it in Clay: Intro to Slipcasting & Moldmaking" 3-full-day workshop.




    Recommended Experience Level

    A basic foundation in ceramics hand building is encouraged, but not required.

    Skills You Will Learn

    1.How to use slip molds to cast beautiful objects in clay.

    2. How you can modify a cast object by:

         A. Cutting away parts (carve a jack-o-lantern).

         B. Adding texture via slip trailing (texture, bumps, and unique surface decoration designs)

         C. Adding features (a handle for a mug, a lip for a lid)

         D. What happens when you remove your object from the mold a little early 

         E. Strategically warp your cast pumpkin.

         F. Using mason stains to add color.

    Items to Bring/Wear for Class

    • A lunch or snack — We will have a 30 minute break, so that we can eat lunch. 
    • Closed‑toe shoes — Required for safety when working with plaster and tools. 
    • Clothes you don’t mind getting messy — Slip can splash; comfortable studio wear is best. 
    • Apron — Optional but helpful for keeping clothes clean.

    Watercolor Landscapes

    Discover the beauty of watercolor through landscape painting in this 5-week series designed for beginners and developing artists alike.

    Watercolor is beautifully suited to capturing the natural world. Its fluidity and versatility can give us soft skies, layered depth, and expressive textures that bring landscapes to life on paper.

    In this course, you'll learn how to work with water and pigment from the ground up. We will begin with foundational techniques and build upon your culminating skills toward a finished landscape painting of your own. Along the way, you'll explore how to create natural shapes, color, atmosphere and depth—using a balance of control and spontaneity.

    Each session combines guided instruction, hands-on practice, and time to develop your own work, giving you both the skills and confidence to continue painting beyond the course.

    Whether you're brand new to watercolor or returning after time away, this class offers a supportive, focused environment where you can slow down, build technique, and enjoy the creative process.

    What You'll Experience

    • Clear, step-by-step introduction to watercolor techniques
    • Guided practice applying those techniques to natural subjects
    • Individual and group feedback to support your growth
    • A relaxed, engaging studio atmosphere
    • The satisfaction of creating your own landscape painting

    What You'll Learn

    Over five sessions, you will:

    • Build confidence with washes, water control, and color mixing
    • Explore key techniques like wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, dry brush, lifting, and masking
    • Learn how to paint trees, skies, water, and atmospheric effects
    • Understand composition and depth in landscape painting
    • Create and refine a finished landscape painting

We recommend completing the general orientation before the ceramics orientation. You do not need to attend orientation before taking a class or workshop.  However, orientation is a requirement to keep using the studio after a class or workshop ends.

    Our ceramics orientation will cover: 

    • Our Safety and Firing Policy
    • Consumables (clay, glaze, firing)
    • Reserving Tools
    • TCMC Member Storage
    • Classes vs. Sign-Offs (the sign-offs allow you to bypass our mandatory 101 classes through a portfolio review)
    • ... and most importantly: a Studio Tour!!!

    NOTE: *You must attend the general Twin Cities Maker Orientation ("New Member Orientation") in addition to our Ceramics Studio Orientation.*

An instructor is on hand to answer questions, troubleshoot, or pull a quick demo on whatever you need — whether that's trimming, pulling handles, hand-building a lid, or finally figuring out that glaze situation.

    About this Class

    Slip‑casting is an efficient, repeatable forming method that allows you to produce consistent ceramic shapes with precision. This class introduces the core technical skills behind plaster mold‑making, giving you a solid foundation in model preparation, mold design, plaster mixing, and controlled casting workflows. You’ll work through each stage hands‑on, learning how to plan for undercuts, determine part lines, and troubleshoot common issues. By the end, you’ll have a functional mold you made yourself—and the practical knowledge to continue producing accurate one‑ and two‑piece slip‑casting molds independently in your own studio.

    Surface finishing — smoothing, stretching, and final adjustments for a polished result.

    • Our Safety and Firing Policy
    • Consumables (clay, glaze, firing)
    • Reserving Tools
    • TCMC Member Storage
