Barbara offers fun, informal, intimate pottery classes from her Seattle studio on E. Capitol Hill near the Arboretum (limited enrollment).

In addition to group pottery classes, Barbara offers private pottery lessons, and corporate workshops and team building.

“Barbara’s pottery classes are like a good Tapas restaurant that is vibrant, full of surprises, and will bring you back again and again. Intrigued by her sculpture work, I signed up for her class a year ago and have since become one of many loyal students of hers. Barbara is always dependable, helpful with suggestions, and overflows with artistic ideas. She is truly the best pottery instructor in this area.”
