Lost Province provides instruction and insight to help you grow as a potter. For those who have always wanted to learn to throw on the wheel, create hand built pieces, or improve your skills; we provide several courses for beginner and experienced artists.
In this class you will learn basic studio safety and the skills to begin throwing bowls, plates and mugs on the potter's wheel. Our instructor Mike Edwards will give you a sound understanding of the art and be here for you to advance to the next level.
Weekend Classes beginning Sept 7
9/7-8, 9/14-15 & 9/28-29 from 9a-12p
In this class we will start with where you are in your throwing journey and go to the next level. If your goal is to make pots you like better than the ones you are making now, this is the place to
be. We will work on technical skills, but also on good form and an expanded repertoire of glaze ideas. This class is meant for people who have taken at least one throwing class. Instructor Dottie Baker will guide you through this six-week course.
Wednesdays 6/12-7/17
1p-3:30p
In this class you will learn beginning hand building techniques, including pinch pots, hump molding and slab building. Through hands-on experience, you’ll also learn a few basic fundamentals of pottery form and surface design. By the end of the class, you’ll have some pottery pieces you have made, glazed and fired. Dottie Baker will be your guide for this clay adventure.
New Dates Coming Soon!
This class will introduce you to our studio, basic safety rules and our equipment available for your use. Also, through a hands-on approach, students will learn and practice aspects of pinch, coil and slab pottery. Additionally, there will be an introduction to throwing on the pottery wheel. Basic pottery information will be presented and discussed as the student is working with clay. This class will be 2 days per week.

In this class, the mystery of glazes will begin to clear. You will discover what each of LPCCA’s glaze materials looks like when fired to cone 6, then learn a simple method of knowing what each contributes to a glaze, and finally invent your own glaze. We will do all this without the usual deep dive into glaze chemistry. If you can recognize the pattern of a short sequence of numbers and letters (ABC123), you can do this class. Whether you just want to gain more understanding of the glazes you already use, or actually invent your own colors and textures for the surface of your pots, this class will help.
New Class Dates Coming Soon!

Sign up for the Glazing the Cloisonné Way workshop today! Cuerda Seca, Spanish for dry cord The Moors developed this ancient glaze technique in the 14th century as a time-saving way to mimic the look of mosaics. Outlining the pattern with a liquid wax resist creates surface tension, making the glaze particles pile up on one another. Although the wax fires off early, the glaze stays put. The wax makes a faux grout line, while the thick glaze application raises each color's surface, creating a mosaic look. This cloisonné inspired method produces rich colors and a desire to reach out and touch it. Beautiful, durable, and easy to care for ceramic art tile.

Influenced by the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts Movements. I love uniting organic and geometric forms into designs that flow and follow the spirit of these two movements, which strive to bring beauty to the everyday. I earned a BFA from Pratt Institute in 1982, where I learned to take a painterly approach to clay.
