Ceramics Courses

The Sedona Arts Center’s ceramics department is a thriving creative community, inspired by the legacy of Dennis Ott, beloved ceramicist and educator. Guided by studio manager Ben Roti and enriched by the expertise of instructors Lolo Howe and John Post, the program offers students a welcoming space to explore, experiment, and grow in the ceramic arts. Free from traditional grading, the department supports learners at every level. With diverse programming led by Ben, Lolo, John, and nationally recognized guest artists, students can experience both traditional and contemporary approaches through flexible, hands-on instruction that fosters creativity and discovery.

**Please note: Ceramics classes are designed for persons ages 16 and over (unless otherwise noted), or with instructor approval.

The Ceramics Studio will be closed:
