In this "Taboo" version of the Earthmade Experience Pottery Class feel free to create all the projects you probably couldn't do at other pottery studios. Classes are usually done in a step by step group "build along" structure, this makes for great fun as it provides an opportunity for students to critique each other throughout the making process(of course you can plot your own course if you like).
