🎉 &nbsp;Something muddy and wonderful is coming this November! Join Jill Franklin of Hidden Ridge Pottery for The Pottery Experience&mdash;a chance to get your hands dirty, try something new, and have a little fun along the way! Never touched clay before? Come on in. Think you&rsquo;re &ldquo;not creative&rdquo;? We&rsquo;ve got aseat for you, too. Bring your ideas, your curiosity, and clothes that can handle a little mud.&nbsp; ❤️Each two-hour guided experience is limited to six people, so everyone gets personal help and encouragement. Explore pinch pots, coil building, slab building, and wheel throwing.&nbsp; Follow the series in order but come to any class! You&rsquo;ll create and personalize your pottery, then leave it with Jill for drying, firing, and any finishing touches. Come back later to pick up your creation&mdash;and yes, you get to say, &ldquo;I made that!&rdquo; Complete all three experiences and we&rsquo;ll celebrate your &ldquo;Master of the Mud&rdquo;status! 😉 You&rsquo;ll have a foundation in pottery and an invitation to keep creating during scheduled independent studio time. Think bowls, plates, garden treasures, and pieces that are wonderfully, unmistakably YOU. And we&rsquo;re just getting started!&nbsp; Jill will offer more experiences for anyone ready to dig deeper, try a challenge, and keep having fun. What would YOU love to make? Drop your ideas in the comments&mdash;mugs, fairy
