4-H Pottery Group


Rutherford County has a new afterschool group, it’s the 4-H Pottery Group! This group will learn the art of pottery making by hand in a fun setting. The participants meet at a local pottery studio then make 3 to 4 projects that they get to create, glaze, and then take home in a month's time frame. This group will meet once a week for a month from 5pm to 7pm. All sessions are taught by the studio owner. Your creative side will shine! Space is limited and there is a class fee of $60.
*Dates for the sessions are: October 12, October 19, October 26, and November 2.*
