Discover pottery this fall at Markham Museum

Children can explore their creativity through hands-on classes that teach foundational pottery techniques such as pinching, coil building, and slab building, while creating their own unique clay pieces. Adults of all experience levels, from complete beginners to experienced potters, can develop their skills through a variety of courses designed to inspire creativity and build confidence working with clay.

Whether you're looking to create functional pottery, decorative ceramics, or try something new, there's a class for you.
