Community Pottery Classes in Taylor, TX – Art Off Center

Art Off Center is a community pottery studio in downtown Taylor, Texas offering pottery wheel, hand building, sculpture, surface decoration and other various pottery classes for adults and teens. Art Off Center emphasizes learning and creating in clay via group events, classes, workshops, and community support.

Artist Focused Pottery Classes

Above all, at Art Off Center, we focus on small class sizes and individual learning. Therefore, each student and artist will have a unique experience while learning the craft of ceramics. Not only do you learn how to make various pieces of handmade pottery and wheel thrown ceramics, you are encouraged to enhance your problem solving skills.  We have classes year round for teens and adults via our normal schedule of classes that range from a single session class, specialty workshops and multi-week group classes. The ongoing rotation of classes includes Pottery Wheel Basics, Hand Building Class and Sculpture Class. We’ve also got Surface Decoration Workshop series that focuses on decoration techniques on leather hard clay or bisque during the year. 

For Little Potters

For our smaller family members, try our Clay Bootcamp for Kids during the summer months and fun ornament making classes during the holiday season. Feel free to call to set up special events like birthday parties or a scout troop event.
