Winter class schedule sneak peek! We're adding three new evening courses: Wheel Throwing for Beginners (6 weeks), Glaze Chemistry Made Simple (4 weeks), and Hand-Building Holiday Gifts (3 weeks). Each class is capped at eight people so everyone gets time at the wheel and one-on-one help. Full timetable: http://localhost:8080/winter-classes
