Local potters Rob Buller and Jim Messer team up together to teach their talents to the local community this summer at Chowan University. No experience is necessary and every student is guaranteed to end the class with a piece of their own handmade pottery.

Rob Buller, Assistant Professor of Art in Chowan University’s Department of Communication Arts, and Jim Messer, Instructor and Fine Arts Program Coordinator at Roanoke Chowan Community College, will teach both hand-building techniques and potter’s wheel methods to small classes of no more than 15 each for more personal tutoring. But not to worry, two sessions are being offered to meet your schedule.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays from July 14th through July 30th, the artists will offer two sessions for your convenience – a Morning Session from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and an Evening Session from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.

Open to the public, the class is $60, which includes the provided Chowan River Clay dug from local sources that will become your treasured bowls, cups and other imaginative pieces.

For more information, or to enroll in one of the classes today before they fill up fast, contact Rob Buller at (252) 642-7168 or buller@chowan.edu.
