It’s always a blast working with Jennifer over at Jennifer Meeker Art Ceramics and for my latest visit, I helped capture some promotional images for her latest ‘branch’ in her business: the Private Potter Experience Weekend Getaway. Jenner has this to say about this fun to venture:
Are you looking for a unique date night? Perhaps a weekend getaway? Are you longing to learn a new skill? I have combined the idea of a private pottery lesson with an overnight stay in my historic artsy home. It’s a “Weekend Getaway With a Private Pottery Experience.” You can customize it to one night or multiple nights, or even one class to multiple classes. Both of these are available through Airbnb, both links are below. This will allow for easy booking. Please note that they are two separate listings, so you’ll have to book both if you’re interested. Padauk and I are looking forward to hosting you.
Message me @ jennifermeekerart@gmail.com if you have any questions.
You can find all the details and book your class or weekend getaway using the links above. These classes are so fun and I can’t wait to head back soon - I even signed up my son for a kids class! <3
Still looking for more information?
Details about the class:
No experience is required!
Class is 2 hours long
Artist trims and glazes piece.

I do have a friendly rescue dog “Padauk” in the home that would love to greet you. No shoes in the home please. Historic 100 year old home so it has it “charms” so she’s not perfect. Please be careful to not drag anything across the original hardwood floors.
