BIPOC Classes
We offer several one-day and multi-week classes that are specifically for — and taught by — people who are Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC). While the class format and structure are the same as our other offerings, BIPOC classes are priced at a lower rate to reduce barriers to clay education.
