The Plymouth Community Arts Council offers a wide variety of multi-age classes throughout the year. The popularity of our pottery classes has grown each year, particularly in the youth summer pottery camp. However, our kiln is no longer in service. The purchase of a new kiln will allow us to fire and finish the students pottery creations without a significant time delay.
