Clay Center of New Orleans Classes & Workshops

In this single 3-hour class, you'll work with clay slabs to make handmade terracotta planters. The primary project will be a hanging wall pocket planter, with some time to work on another planter project of your choice. 

Students will work with plant matter to create relief designs on each piece if desired. No prior clay experience is needed, and all materials and tools provided. The pieces will be fired but left unglazed, which creates a breathable home perfect for growing healthy plants.

Note: Registration for all courses closes 24 hours before the start of the first class session.
