About Tuscarora Retreat and Summer Pottery School
The Tuscarora Pottery School strives to create an environment of kinship, community & creativity through education and immersion in working with clay.
We offer one and two-week long workshops every summer, devoted to throwing on the potter's wheel as well as hand-building and shorter, long weekend, special topic classes.?
Our small classes allow for the program design to be customized to fit the needs of each individual student.
The Tuscarora Retreat and Summer Pottery School were established in the summer of 1966 by Dennis and Julie Parks. They chose this place because of its quiet, vast open spaces, clean air, clear skies, and rugged mountains.
Our aim is to provide a concentrated supportive atmosphere for both those seeking an introduction to ceramics and more seasoned practitioners wanting to expand their skills and confidence.
