Good Earth Pottery and Garden is located between Calvander & Maple View Ice Cream.

We base all our classes on personal initiative, soothing clay, and your imagination.

We offer you the chance to create on the wheel, the slab roller, and/or hand-sculpt.

Whether you keep your creations, or give them as gifts, they are sure to bring your thoughtfulness and beauty into the world for many, many years to come.  We support the unique person and artist you are!

David Gould loves making pottery and teaching pottery. David is a 1988 graduate of Northwestern University with a B.S.S. in Speech and an area of concentration in Art.  David is the co-owner/director of Good Earth & Pottery in Chapel Hill, NC with his wife Suzanne Gould. He enjoyed making pottery as a child, collecting "Indian Clay" from down the creek behind his parent's house in Cincinnati, Ohio.  These days he is experimenting with local orange clay found under your feet from Orange County, NC.    His official time started with a classical apprenticeship in Sweden in 1979. After that beginning time, David also worked in Norway, Crete, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Seagroves, and finally Calvander, NC.  David’s been making pottery/ceramics for 30 years now, and teaching for over 20 years.   David taught a variety of adult classes for Northwestern, Duke, UNC-CH, and The Carrboro ArtsCenter.  He also enjoyed teaching children's ESL classes in Sweden and Crete. David taught second graders as Helen Maxwell's assistant for two years at Carrboro Elementary and fourth graders as Meg Millard's assistant at Frank Porter Graham.  For the last ten years, David has enjoyed teaching over 1,000  children and hundreds of adults through classes at the ArtsCenter, CHCCS Middle School Face Jug Workshops with Hollie Novak & Missy Valentine, and at his own studio – Good Earth Pottery & Garden.

 You are welcome to call to sign-up or if you have questions - 918-3848.

Space is limited, so call today to reserve your bag of clay and seat in class. Your place in class is secure only if you have paid.  Current class members do receive first choice for the classes, and in return, I ask for your thoughtfulness and understanding.   Full refund for cancellation by either party is possible one week in advance of first class.  Make-ups are scheduled only during current term.  Mid-term enrollments are occasionally possible. Tuition includes Open Studio, which is on most Sundays from 2-5 for currently enrolled adults.

 Pottery class size is usually 6-7 students.  This 6-7-person class size provides for a nice group dynamic while retaining individual attention.   Many groups of friends and families have organized their own classes.  You provide the individual initiative and projects, while David provides technical and thoughtful support. Relaxing clay time offers you a chance to unwind and have fun. “I look forward to helping you realize your unique, delightful goals.  Thank-you!"   -  David Gould
