Special Workshop
Join NAPS Member and incredible ceramic artist Sal Treviño for a talk & technique workshop at Not Another Pottery Studio.
We will kick off this session with a fireside (kilnside?!) chat and Q&A foused on Sal’s career and experiene. This will be followed by a demonstration of Sal’s technique and approach to his stunning underglaze pieces. During, the second half of the workshop participants will put Sal’s underglaze painting technique into action by making their very own coasters. Sal will support and guide participants as they practice pinstriping and brush painting details on their own coaster set.
Free Form Clay Time
This session will involve free-form handbuilding, supported by a NAPS ceramics instructor. You will receive up to 5lbs of studio clay to make your creation(s). You can come with some preplanned ideas or inspiration, or simply come as you are and let the clay decide what’s next.
You can choose to make this a simply sensory experience in impermanence and we will recycle the clay afterwards; or, we can fire and glaze your piece with one of our nine studio glazes.

In this focused wheel-throwing workshop, we’ll dive into the art and technique of making plates that feel good in both form and function. You’ll learn how to throw and trim plates effectively. From wedging preparation and bat systems to centering larger amounts of clay and mastering clean, consistent rims.
We’ll explore the anatomy of different types of plates, from shallow side plates to dinner and serving platters, discussing proportions, profiles, and how design choices affect usability and firing success.
You’ll also get hands-on guidance in troubleshooting common plate pitfalls, like cracking, warping, and slumping, so your pieces come off the wheel balanced, beautiful, and ready for glazing success.
In this workshop, you’ll learn the foundations of slip casting technique! From preparing liquid clay (slip) to pouring, timing, and releasing pieces from molds.
Using a curated selection of vintage plaster molds, we’ll explore how to cast consistent, functional, and decorative forms. You’ll gain a clear understanding of mold anatomy, casting thickness, cleanup, and finishing methods, along with practical tips.
Perfect for beginners curious about new forming techniques, this class offers a fun and approachable way to bring historic tools and processes into your contemporary ceramic practice.
