Service Description

All skill levels are welcome! From beginners to advanced students, we aim to keep things flexible and engaging for all skill levels. If you have never touched clay, we do have an Intro to Throwing Class just for newbies, but will still welcome you here. Students will be able to focus on projects they want to accomplish, with guidance from our instructors. Instructors will do basic instruction for the student new to clay at the beginning of the session and will do more advanced demonstrations upon request throughout the session. If your not ready to commit to 6 weeks, check out our Drop-In sessions! This class meets for three (3) hours once a week for six (6) weeks. Please note: You may cancel with a full refund up to 1 week before the class begins. Two makeup classes are included since life happens. We however, do not recommend missing the 1st class.

Clay and tools will be available for purchase through our website ahead of class or at onsite at the studio. You are welcome to bring your own tools and use studio sets. Firing fees are $1 per lb and include our in-house cone 6, cone 10, and Raku glazes. You have access to a variety of firings including Cone 6 Oxidation, Cone 6 Reduction, Cone 6 Salt, Cone 10 Reduction, Cone 10 Salt, and a Multitude of Raku options. To simplify the process the fees are built into each bag of clay purchased and vary pending the clay used. For example, our cheapest clay is $19 per 25lb bag, so plus $25 at $44 you get the clay, glaze and pieces you make from that bag fired. Outside commercial glazed can be used after instructor approval, otherwise all glazes are made in house. Please note that this is an adult class, 18 and up. We will accept teen students 13-17 but they must be taking the class WITH a parent or legal guardian. If you are looking to not attend with your teen, we have a teens only class on Friday nights. Want more studio time? Open Studio Hours are available for current students at $3 an hour.
