Ceramic Classes with Grey Barona
​
Step into the wheel-thrown world of clay with Grey Barona, a multidisciplinary artist and founder of Lockhart Arts. Rooted in care, curiosity, and community
Grey’s ceramic classes offer a grounding space to explore the art of wheel throwing from the ground up. Designed especially for beginners, these hands-on courses combine thoughtful instruction with creative play—inviting students to connect deeply with process, material, and personal expression.
​
Each class emphasizes not just technique—like centering clay, pulling forms, and glazing—but also the slow, soulful nature of working with your hands. Students are encouraged to find their rhythm, make joyful mistakes, and celebrate their growth. Whether you're crafting your first mug or simply seeking a meditative practice, Grey’s studio is a welcoming place to begin your journey in clay.

Come learn with me!
I teach, create, and grow my ceramic practice out of the Virginia Beach Art Center—an incredible community space where clay, creativity, and connection come together. It’s here in the Ceramic Studio that I lead beginner wheel throwing classes that blend hands-on skill building with care, play, and self-expression. Whether you're new to clay or revisiting an old love, my classes are a space to slow down, make with intention, and learn in rhythm with the wheel.
