Join the Trackers Village! Reconnect with nature while learning outdoor skills to share with your family, students, and friends. This is more than a class, together we create a mentoring village of artisans, outdoor enthusiasts, parents, educators, and seniors.
Potter & Ceramic Studio
With expert Trackers Guides and a fellowship of like-minded colleauges, the Ceramic Studio teaches these core elements:
Craftsmanship & Form Craft handmade pottery for your home—bowls, cups, art, and more. Practice shop and tool safety. Learn to care for and maintain studio equipment. Delve into physical and material sciences: chemistry, thermodynamics and more!
Art & Design Learn to design in three dimensions, bringing your creative ideas to life. Explore the basics of sculpture and expressive forms. Paint, glaze, and decorate your work. Develop your personal style as an artist.
Traditional & Modern Go beyond the basics. Explore many traditional pottery styles. Get experience using a potter’s wheel and a kiln. Fire your works using old and new methods: from outdoor pit fires to our electric kiln.
