7 POTTERY Pottery Students at PFAC explore a wide variety of forms and methods. It is gratifying to drink your morning coffee out of a mug you threw yourself, or to serve dinner to your family on an array of dinner plates of your own design and handiwork.

PFAC has two well-equipped clay studios within our Museum to meet the needs of beginning to advanced potters.
