Helping Hands Pottery Workshops and Clay Club For Kids
Natalie is a ceramic artist with a passion for clay! Her focus is creating functional, wheel-thrown and altered, stoneware pottery that brings joy to everyday life. She shares her love of clay with children and adults in classes and workshops.
Since discovering her love for clay in 1993, she has honed her craft, developing a unique style characterized by layered, hand-painted glazes that cascade with vibrant colors. With a deep respect for the medium, Natalie continues to learn from the clay, finding inspiration in its tactile nature and creative possibilities.
Her philosophy is simple yet profound: ‘Everyday life should be beautiful.’ Through her pottery, she aims to bring a touch of beauty and functionality to daily moments, making life’s simple pleasures a little more extraordinary.”
Private Classes
Did you know you can book a private clay class?
Yes! I will bring everything your group needs to create a memorable experience and a forever treasure! Nancy hosted the gathering in home and included her mother, sister, niece and kids to create hand built flowers and honor family birthdays.
Each flower is as unique as the person creating it!

11/10 stars for clay club! Natalie is patient and informative on techniques. I enjoy that she has an organized project but also allows children to be creative with their own ideas too.
My son is only 7, but the clay and creativity is great for all ages. I know Natalie has some adult classes I’d love to try when I get some time to myself.
Other things I really like about this class:
-It’s in a great location
-There is no subscription and you can pick months that work for you.
-Multiple times are offered
-Natalie is great at communicating
- making it easy to feel comfortable with drop off and pick up
-Affordable
-All the clay club projects have been adorable
-Most importantly
-my son loves it!
My kids have taken a number of "Clay Club" classes with Natalie this year and we are all loving how everything has been turning out. Natalie is a great teacher, very knowledgeable and patient. She can give you a project or help you do your own idea. One of my kids likes to stick to the project of the session while the other likes to let his creativity flow. We will definitely be continuing and highly recommend!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Natalie. She was absolutely wonderful with my boys and let them be creative even outside of her planned activities. She was super patient and very thoughtful with both of them. My boys genuinely enjoyed their time and cannot wait to come back after summer. You will not be disappointed!!
