All Levels Welcome! You must be 15+ years of age to participate. This class is a great fit for those wanting to grow their skills with an instructor present to ask questions. There is a 15” maximum size, in any direction, when creating with clay at RCC.

Materials: Clay is $40 for new clay or at times we have recycled clay for sale for $20. This is a separate purchase from your class fee. Purchase clay ahead of time HERE.

Bring an apron, comfy clothes, a quart-sized container (like a yogurt container), and a beginner's set of tools to the first class.

Tool kits are available for purchase online or at Seattle Pottery Supply or Clay Art Center. Or here is another option on Amazon. The class fee includes all glazing materials, firings, and generous open-studio access for practice time.

About Judith Yeo (she/her):
Judith Yeo is a Singaporean-Canadian ceramic artist who currently resides in Seattle, WA. In 2023, she took her first wheel-throwing ceramics class and felt drawn to the hands-on nature of the craft and the physicality of finished work — a concept that was foreign to her after years as a software engineer.

She has exhibited her ceramics nationally and in statewide curated exhibitions. In 2025, she was awarded the Washington State Artist Trust Grant and The Color Network Microgrant.

She was a past resident at The Clay Corner in Seattle, WA, Chehalem Cultural Center in Newburg, Oregon, and A.I.R. Vallauris in Vallauris, France. She has an upcoming residency at Red Lodge Clay Center in Red Lodge, Montana.
