Now, about that Ghost moment...

MUD the Clay Studio

If you're looking for lessons that'll actually make you good at pottery (or, better than before at least,) look no further than this Leslieville studio, which offers six-week long courses where you'll learn and master the basics of potting, with clay, glazing and firing included. You can also stop by for a two-hour trial run on the pottery wheel to get a feel for it.
