Types of Ceramic Studio Classes
- Wheel Curious - This is an entry-level single-session class for beginners or for those who threw on the wheel years ago and need a refresher. This is a 2-hour class. Throw as many as you can in this session, and pick your favorite for us to fire and glaze in the color of your choice from our studio palette. Take this class as many times as you like, but if you'd like to save $$ for multiple sessions, consider our Let's Throw class! This class is a pre-requisite to our Open Studio sessions on the wheel.
- Let's Throw! ($198 through December 31) - This 4-week course was created for people who'd like to delve into pottery further. Each of the four 2.5-hour classes will cover a deepening aspect of learning about the wheel, centering, creating various shapes, trimming, and glazing. We are currently booking this class as a custom class, for two to four people. Please email [email protected] to get your class on the calendar! This class requires a minimum of three people to run, and is currently by custom time-slot only, email [email protected] to get started.
- Intro to Wheel ($395 through December 31) - This is an 8-week course that will give you enough time to really practice throwing on the wheel. Your instructor will start with demonstrations on straight-sided cylinders, and then branch out into bowls and other forms that the class expresses interest in. (Bring your ideas and questions!) We'll also have time to go over trimming, and surface decoration techniques. This class requires a minimum of three people registered to run, and is currently by custom time-slot only, email [email protected] to get started.
- Handbuilding & Sculpting - We offer a range of non-wheel classes during our handbuilding and sculpting workshops. Check out the Seasonal Workshops page to learn more about upcoming sessions. To book a custom session for 2 or more people, email [email protected]

Don't see a class that works with your schedule? Email [email protected] to see if we might have an instructor who can make some scheduling magic happen for you! We require a minimum of 2 people to book a custom class date, and 3 people to run at a lower rate.
Our classes are unlike any other clay studio because of these key factors:
- Semi-private instruction (4 people or less per pottery wheel class)!!
- 1-on-1 guidance with positive, top-notch instructors who love clay and have years of combined teaching experience
- All materials are included. Just show up!
- Schedule-friendly! Options to come back and glaze, continue practicing when you are able, or dive in with intent with classes that are multiple weeks long.
- Multi-generational classes offer a memorable and bonding experience for individuals, couples, families and groups.

Picking up your finished pieces
Your pieces go through many steps after you leave the studio. We try our very best to deliver finished pieces that look the way you last saw them, just a little smaller and shinier, but due to the often unpredictable and unforgiving nature of ceramics, things can happen. We cannot guarantee any pieces to make it through the drying, firing, glazing, and second firing. We tell our students not to fall in love with their pieces until they're at home with you. The whole process of drying, firing, glazing, and a second firing can take 2-4 weeks. You'll receive an email from us when they're ready for pickup. You'll have one month to pick up your finished artwork once it's ready. After that, we cannot hold unclaimed pieces. |
