About the provider

Marin Pottery came to be out of a pure passion for ceramics, community, and clay. Over the last 2 decades, Kebby and her team have taught thousands. The program serves Marin County’s public schools, private schools, and community centers, and it hosts pottery parties for celebrations and team building. It also has 1-2 market days where members and students can share and sell their work.

Beginner classes require no prior experience. Students should bring themselves and clothes they do not mind getting dirty. If they have experience and their own tools, they may bring them. Members must have taken a class or have a sufficient alternative with approval. The studio offers drop-in hours Thursday 5:30pm-8:30pm and Saturday 10am-1pm.
