Saramic Creations
Ceramic Classes at Buckeye Lake, Thornville, Ohio
Pottery classes can be set up for individual sessions or they can be for the 6 class series. You will complete a project from start to finish in the class time period. (Usually between 1-2 hours). The first class is designed for beginners and can lead into more advanced clay classes. Classes can be individual students or groups, ages 8 and up.
In my classes, you will discover new skills, your personal style, and the joy of clay creation. Given the right resources and motivation, you can shape clay, express your creativity, and create something unique and one of a kind.
Sara McCall – Founder of Saramic Creations
With a Master’s in Art Education and a lifelong passion for pottery, I spent 28 years inspiring students as an art teacher in the Zanesville City School system. It’s been my dream to have my own pottery studio and to help others discover their creative potential while working with clay.
Hand-building and Wheel
Pottery Classes
For hand-building, the adult and kids classes are $35.00 per 1-2 hour classes. You can sign up for the full series or you can try the beginning class and determine if you would like to take the remaining classes. If your skill level is beginner, I would recommend taking the first class to learn the basics.
For the Pottery Wheel sessions, the lessons are $45.00 per hour, per person. I can only teach two at a time. The glazing classes are included with the series classes at the end. For the individual classes, glazing is $12. Glazing sessions are held after clay pieces have been fired in the kiln. Please email or text for questions and to arrange dates and times that would fit your needs. 740-704-0056.
After your class or lesson is approved, please use the website for registration and payment. If payment is not possible on the webpage, we can arrange payments at the time of service with a check, credit card, Venmo or cash.

Class 3 is making a soft slab. A soft slab is made while the clay is soft and pliable.
Class 4 is a hard slab. It is a form such as a box. It is formed when the clay is leather hard.

For this class, you will concentrate on a 3/D sculptured piece. There are many directions you can follow. There are unlimited possibilities.
