Classes
At Rising Dawn Ceramics Studio, we welcome anyone and everyone to try pottery. This is a place where mistakes are made, imperfections are welcome, and any skill level can learn and grow.
We are all about digging into creativity with clay. It's our way of molding more than just art; it's a community coming together, getting down and dirty with the joy of making.
All of our classes are located in our Fargo studio at 307 Main Ave.
*We are located right across the street from Cenex and our door is on Main Ave. There is a free parking lot on the east side of the building.
