Join us for our excellent instruction in the new May Carter Pottery Studio. This is the Academy's first studio actually built for clay, jewelry, and warm glass fusing. Our new facility continues crafts instruction that was housed for years at the Fine Arts Center, and for the past several years at an offsite location. Pottery and other fine crafts now have a home at the Academy!
We offer classes for all ages with an excellent staff of instructors. Our Outreach Program for young people continues, and we have plans to expand this aspect of our programming in the new studio. Our Academy Studio Potters, a group of potters associated with the Pottery Studio over a long period will continue to offer a Holiday and a Mother's Day Pottery Sale in the spring and fall.
For Information about our program and/or any questions, please contact May Carter - (434) 528-3256, ext. 316 or email pottery@academyfinearts.com
Classes for all ages and levels (for full description and registration see Classes). Any student may apply for scholarship financial help.
