Clay and Glass Courses
This listing is not intended to cover every single class available in the province; it rather seeks to outline those that are deemed major or locally popular, or those which have been in existence long-term.
The classes listed are divided by region and cover small studios and guilds, up to the larger post-secondary institutions offering degree/certificate programs.
There's something for everyone… from hobbyist or curious collector, to the serious student seeking accreditation.
