My husband, Joe, always tells me I have a squirrel mind and I like to create a lot of different art, so I thought Squirrel Mind Design was a good fit!

I offer clay and pottery classes ranging from 1 to 3 sessions. I have six potter’s wheels and also handbuilding and glazing tables. I offer glazing-only sessions as well, with future plans for painting and soap making classes.

No! Many people are trying this for the first time. I start with a demonstration and guide you throughout. Perfect for parties, date nights, and family outings.

Squirrel Mind Design Studio is in Rogers, MN near Hanover and St. Michael. Located on a wooded lot with chickens and goats — combining pottery, nature, and community.

Expect guidance, a supportive and creative environment, and time to work at your own pace. You'll also meet great people and have fun.

Just yourself, clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting messy, and an apron if you’d like.

No charge to reschedule more than 24 hours in advance. No refunds for cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows. If someone on the waitlist fills your spot, no charge.

They’re background characters that add personality. You can say hello before or after class, but the focus stays on pottery.

Totally understandable. Let me know ahead of time and I can help you decide if the space is right for you.

Yes. Top rack dishwasher recommended. Some glazes are not food-safe, but those are never used on dinnerware.

Absolutely. I’ve created many custom mugs and plate sets for customers.
