POTTERY AT THE SALEM Y

Pottery at the Salem Y sparks creativity in youth and adults alike.

Through hands-on clay work, participants discover new ways to express themselves and bring their ideas to life. Our pottery programs build skills in handbuilding, wheel throwing, and glazing—encouraging confidence, imagination, and a lifelong love of the arts at any age.

We’re excited to offer pottery and claymaking classes for both youth and adults! Join us and unleash your creativity while learning the fundamentals and techniques. Get ready to get your hands dirty and explore in either 8-week class sessions, pop-up monthly workshops, or open studios (coming soon!)
