Classes

Our core classes at Tao of Clay are led by expert instructors trained in our principled curriculum. Each course offers a clear, systematic approach to ceramic techniques while integrating opportunities for personal growth through mindfulness and self-discovery. Most courses are six weeks and include studio access during designated student hours, giving you time to practice and deepen your learning outside of class.

Tao of Clay Workshops

Our workshops are shorter-format classes focused on specific techniques, ranging from throwing and hand-building to surface decoration and special firings like in our pit fire workshop. While quicker than our six-week classes, workshops are rooted in the same Tao of Clay philosophy: emphasizing process over outcome, and integrating mindfulness practices that support self-discovery and personal growth. These sessions are ideal for those looking to explore a focused skill or reconnect with their creative practice in a meaningful way.
