At Mudslingers Pottery School in old town Louisville, Colorado, people of all ages and ability levels come together in a relaxed but vibrant atmosphere to explore ceramic arts. We offer tools, support and instruction to help stimulate the artist in us all.

Below are some of the people you'll meet when you call us up, enroll in a class or drop by to see the action. We look forward to helping you explore your own journey in clay!

John Hansen found his affinity for clay while a student at the University of Wisconsin. John has worked in theatre and business but pottery has been a constant thread in his life. He started Mudslingers in 1998 after many years of teaching in other programs. In addition to his extensive experience, John brings his infamous sense of humor to class, resulting in fun and enlightening times. His work has been exhibited in Europe and sold nationally.
