Expedition in Wild Clay!
Digging into Local History, Geology & Pottery
This isn't a pottery class or a lecture series. It's an expedition — with real field trips, real discoveries, and real dirt under your fingernails. Geologists will help us read the landscape and identify where clay deposits might lie. Historians will connect us to the people who worked this land before us. Then we go looking: scouting locations, digging clay, hauling it back, and learning to process raw earth into something workable. Ceramic artists will guide us through testing, forming, and glazing — and together we'll build a kiln from scratch and fire it.
Join the Crew!
The expedition has begun but we're just getting started. It's not too late to join in. Registration is free and open to all.
