Get Centered at RHAC!
Since its start way back in 2000, Round Hill Arts Center has steadily grown its pottery and arts programs. Today we offer ceramics classes with a variety of instructors for kids and adults. We have clay classes on weekdays, weeknights, and weekends year round.
We're expanding our other classes too, offering monthly "Handy Hours" for adults and Family Friday programs for all ages. We also present student and adult art exhibits, and special weekend craft workshops. On top of that, we host many birthday parties and other private events. We're committed to being the place where the arts and community meet. Everyone is welcome to learn something new at RHAC!
