The wheels are spinning again at the Alki Bathhouse, where West Seattle's popular pottery classes are set to return for adults looking to shape, fire, and glaze their way to a personal dining set. In a nod to artisanal pursuits and local learning opportunities, this creative endeavor offers something a little different for Seattle residents wanting to get their hands dirty in a literal plunge into the world of ceramics.

Starting this January, the Bathhouse will host two series of sessions: Monday evenings will see the studio open from 6 – 9 pm under course code 73755, priced at $425, while Tuesdays will offer a similar timeslot for a slightly higher fee of $465, course code 73756. According to a program description from the City of Seattle, interested parties can register starting December 3 in anticipation of a season lasting from January 6 to March 31 and January 7 to March 25, respectively.

The Alki Bathhouse, with its rich history as a community gathering place, has long provided a space for shared education and leisure. This session of pottery courses taps into that legacy, offering adults an opportunity not just to make art but to craft the vessels from which they might sip and sup.
