Meet Our Instructors

The best of the best!

At Ford City Potters, our instructors bring decades of combined experience in throwing, handbuilding, glazing and firing, and they love helping potters grow. Whether you're brand new or feeling stuck, they'll meet you where you are, guide you through every step, and nudge you a little further each time. Expect real technique and honest feedback from people who've learned from every crack and happy accident. We take clay seriously. Ourselves? Not so much. Come make a mess and watch your work get better with every session.
