Pottery Workshops
What’s the difference between lessons and workshops?
Lessons are regularly scheduled while a workshop is a one time event. With lessons I teach a syllabus that is dedicated to learning techniques that will give you a good foundation in pottery. In a workshop we work on one specific technique/project from start to finish in one block of time.
Hand Building Workshop
Maximum of 3 students
Cost: $95.00 per person which includes ALL materials, glazes and firing of the project.

Choose a workshop project and claim your date!
Projects:
- Three small nesting bowls with spoons
- Condiment dish made up of 1-3 pinch pots, and attached together to make it a single piece.
- Small lidded jar
In this two hour long workshop you will learn how to make pinch pots and fashion them into a small lidded jar, a condiment dish, or nesting bowls with little spoons. It’s so relaxing to make pottery by hand and fun to do it with friends!
Cost: $95.00 per person. Materials, glazing and technical fees are included in the price. Choose one to two friends, a date, and then call 819-281-3307 or write to LM@LMSerafin.com to book your date.
I accept payment with an Interac eTransfer (preferred) or PayPal (add 5%). Fees MUST be paid in advance of workshop.
Once a date is booked and all people in your party have paid their fees, I will prepare the lesson and materials for you. The date is reserved specifically for you and the project type you’ve chosen, so for this reason no refunds will be given if you wish to cancel with less than 48 hours notice, unless it is due to illness, supremely bad weather or death of an immediate family member.
NOTE: Since we can not remain physically distanced while in the workshop, masks are a great way to feel more secure about your health. Please wear your mask if it will make you feel more comfortable. If you are sick with anything (cold, flu, gastro, covid) please DO NOT schedule a class or workshop with me. If you have already scheduled a class with me, please cancel it and reschedule.
N95 masks are strongly recommended. They also double as a dust mask.
