Pottery from the Texas Hill Country
At Cracked Earth Studio we teach small, classes of 5-8 participants in studio* and by Zoom. We can also accommodate your group or family gathering at your home or business*.

Some examples of types of pots and pieces created during various private classes. Since classes are staggered by what is created, please let us know if there is a particular type of pottery that you would like to make when you contact us to register for one of our fun pottery classes.
General Class Description for IN-PERSON classes:
Each fun course meets 2x for 2-3 hours per session* at $42 per course. During the first session, your project is taken from a lump of clay to a desired form. Once dried and fired, you will glaze your piece during the second session. After it is fired again, your work of art is ready to be collected and admired!
Each course includes clay, tools, glaze, 2 firings and many smiles and exclamations of delight. Please come prepared to get a little messy and to create delightful works of functional art.
Classes are taught by a seasoned instructor with nearly four decades of teaching experience.

"My Cracked Earth experience was so needed in helping me to slow down and allowing myself the time and space to get creative. As a very novice art student, I felt absolutely no pressure to perform and was allowed to take a meditative approach to the clay that was perfectly enjoyable. Thank you Pat for providing this creative outlet!" Amy B.

"It has been a joy to participate in Pat’s classes. From coiled bowls, to luminaries, to wall vases, to cups and all points in between, her classes have been a creative outlet and source of community as students sit around tables molding and shaping clay while visiting with each other. Pat has a gentle, playful way of teaching and inspires her students to feel as though we’re expert potters-in-the-making. The creations I’ve made in her classes have been cherished gifts to loved ones and treasures around our home. Thank you, Pat, for doing what you do." Tawnya F.
