pottery lessons

What To Bring:

You'll need a large towel, short nails, hair tied back, and it's best to remove jewelry, watches etc.  The clay does wash out but old clothes are recommended. 
​The studio can be cool, so dress in layers.
You may also want to bring 3 songs to add to the playlist, a story or two (true or otherwise) and a cheery disposition!  Happy potting!

General Notes, Rules and Etiquette

As you progress through lessons you'll move from simple to more complex forms and be challenged to develop your skills. Novice or experienced potter, you can expect to cut many of your pots in half as part of the learning process. 

All of our lesson fees include clay, use of tools, and instruction.  We keep our classes small and we incorporate all levels with an emphasis on setting your own goals.

​For our 10 week programs the first eight weeks of the session are dedicated to making while weeks nine and ten are spent on trimming, waxing and glazing.

The number of pots taken home is limited -approximately 2 cubic feet (space in the gas kiln) is allotted to each student per session.

While we try to be accommodating when helping you make up a class, it is your responsibility to make sure you finish all classes by the end of the session, and any unused hours are not transferable or refundable.
