Art Education programs

Arts classes

A variety of youth and adult art classes/workshops.

We provide pottery classes for both adult and child students. We are lucky to be able to offer wheel instruction and hand building. All wheel classes are in a small group setting up to five people maximum. Handbuilding classes are limited to six students to help ensure individual attention. Special events and party packages are also available upon request. Julie Berkowitz Ceramics believes in focusing on the process of learning to create with clay. The creative process should be stress relieving and enjoyable with many opportunities to grow in a nurturing environment. Classes are scheduled with the interested students' availability. If you are interested in a class please contact us and we can arrange for a day and time that works for you!
