🏺 What to Expect

During class, participants typically create two to three pieces, depending on experience and pace. You’ll choose which pieces you’d like to keep, and they will be fired and prepared for glazing.

Pieces must dry completely before firing, which can take up to two weeks. Once fired, you may return to glaze your pieces during regular studio hours (no reservation required).

Finished pieces are $20 each (1½ pounds of clay) and this price includes:

• The clay
• Trimming service
• Kiln firing
• Paint glazes and supplies
• Final glaze firing

Please be on time! Participants 15 minutes or more late may be unable to join class due to limited instruction time.
