MONDAY Fall Hand Built Pottery Class with Anne Blackburn

from $120.00
Limit 1 per order
Payment Type:

MONDAY, September 14, 2026, through MONDAY, October 19, 2026 from 6-9 p.m.

This class is a 6-week session.

Our hand built pottery class has a flexible structure that offers a learning experience for potters who range in ability from beginner to advanced. If you have always admired art pottery but didn’t think you had the skill to create beautiful objects—this class is for you! Anne teaches all the basic techniques—pinch pots, coil building, and slab building—then shows students how to use those techniques to create incredible pieces. Students create everything from plates to sculpted animals to slab built birdhouses for their backyards—and she takes requests from her students.

instructor Anne Blackburn is an award-winning local fine art potter and long-time student of the discipline. She is well known for her use of texture and organic forms.

Location: Elkhart Art League Studio, 132 Tyler Street, #1B, Elkhart IN 46516 in the west end of the historic train depot.

Cost: Members $120; Non-members $146 for the 8 week class. Membership is $30 for students and senior citizens over 60 years and $50 for adults. You can sign up for a membership HERE.

Class included all instruction, stoneware clay (25 #), glazes, firing, and open studio time on Thursdays. Students may attend Thursday night open studio from 6-9 pm at no charge. (Instruction is not available at open studio.)

About Kristen O’Dell

I teach at Northridge High School in Middlebury and primarily I teach Intro to Art, Drawing all levels, Ceramics all levels, Photography all levels, Printmaking, Sculpture and that’s about it right now. As an artist, I’ve enjoyed being part of community settings and being able to collaborate and work with others. I tend to want to put myself in the background rather than stand out, to my own detriment sometimes, but as a teacher, I think I’ve been a little bit more outgoing in that way and the other year I got Teacher of the Year for High School Art in Indiana and that felt really nice.
