LANTERN POTTERY WORKSHOP: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2026, 6-9PM
CREATE YOUR OWN HAND-BUILT LANTERN WORKSHOP Join me for a step-by-step workshop where I'll guide you through the process of making your very own hand-built lantern. With over 30 years of experience as a full-time ceramic artist, I’m excited to share my passion and expertise with you. During the workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to create a unique cut out design on your lantern by selecting from my collection of shape cutters that I have collected over the years. This is a fun and engaging workshop, perfect for all skill levels. Children aged 8 to 12 are welcome to participate but must be accompanied by an adult. Feel free to bring your own apron—though none of the materials will stain your clothing. After the workshop, I will glaze and twice fire your completed project, which will be ready for collection in about 2-6 weeks. Your finished items will be dishwasher and microwave safe.

If this minimum isn’t met, you’ll receive a refund or credit for a future workshop. Cancellations require at least 72 hours notice for a credit. Refunds are not available.If a workshop is canceled due to weather, illness, or other unforeseen reasons, it will be rescheduled, and a credit will be issued. Dotti Potts Studio is not responsible for broken pieces, as cracks and explosions are a natural part of the ceramic process and can sometimes happen. Please arrive 15 minutes early for registration, as workshops start on time. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you won’t be able to join, as it’s too difficult to catch up and unfair to other students. Likewise, if you leave early, your project may be left unfinished. If you finish your project early and want to experiment with extra clay, additional pieces will be charged based on the weight of the clay, plus a glazing and firing fee. Please note that extra items are not automatically included in the workshop, so be sure to check with me before making them. Pottery Workshop Pickup Policy: Please note that all completed pottery pieces must be picked up within two months of receiving notification that they are ready. Due to limited storage space, any unclaimed items after this period will unfortunately have to be disposed of. Thank you for understanding, and I appreciate your cooperation!
