This is a 9 week class.

All skill levels. Weekly challenges.

Ready to take your pottery skills to the next level? Join us for a fun, hands-on 9-week pottery adventure inspired by The Great Pottery Throw Down! Each week features a new skill, creative theme, and exciting challenge—from throwing the tallest cylinder and widest bowl to making matching sets, tiny pots, and five-minute vases. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced potter, you’ll build confidence, sharpen your skills, experiment with new techniques and new clays and have plenty of fun along the way (plus prizes!).

Instructor Bio

Patrice Mogan got her Bachelors in Fine Arts at Green Mountain College in Vermont. During a summer abroad, she lived in Aberystwyth, Wales, where she did her college internship at the Ceredigion Museum. Her internship included restoration of cultural artifacts, cataloging, and assisting with setting up exhibits at multiple museums in Wales and England. A few years after college, Patrice briefly lived in Eureka, CA. While there she worked for HCAR as the Lead Art teacher in their fine arts program for people with developmental disabilities. Patrice found herself back on Cape Cod and taking ceramic classes at the Harry Holl Studio at the Cape Cod Museum of Art. After a year of classes and helping in the studio, her teacher recommended her for an apprenticeship at Scargo Pottery–the Studio and Gallery that was established in 1952 by renowned potter Harry Holl. After eight years of apprenticeship, she is now the studio manager. As manager, her role includes mixing glazes, ordering supplies, unloading kilns, reclaiming and recycling clay, and above all else helping and educating the many customers who visit daily. Patrice enjoys making and selling functional pottery, wall tiles, and whimsical sculptures. Born and raised on Cape Cod, she is inspired by her environment and the beauty that surrounds her.
