Summer Classes & Workshops
Summer is nearly here! Treat yourself to a staycation and take a trip to the NCC studios for some uninterrupted time in clay. During summer daytime hours, many of NCC’s studios will have a bounty of Clay Campers making discoveries of their own in clay, but the evenings, weekends, and open studio hours are dedicated to you.
