No, you do not need any pottery experience to attend a class; we will teach you the basics! You will learn more and more if you decide to pursue ongoing instruction through our  beginner and advanced classes.

Not currently, though it’s something we hope to offer in the future. However, if you have a group of 6 we can host a private session for you. Please send us an inquiry via the Birthday, Team Building, Private Lessons, option.

Please let us know 72 hours BEFORE the start of the class or workshop and we are happy to reschedule you if possible. Another option would be to send someone in your place, please email us with the name change if doing so. We often hold specialty workshops, so rescheduling isn’t always a possibility.

If you cancel with less than 24 hours we will NOT be able to offer you a credit or reschedule. This includes Illness, COVID, traffic, daycare, change of plans.

You will not be seated if you arrive more than 10 minutes after the class or workshop start time, even if you let us know you are running late; we are not able to hold up the class for you – it’s not respectful of the instructor’s and other participants’ time. Moreover, If you arrive late, you will miss the beginning and foundations of the rest of the class, which will make it challenging for you to follow along during instruction. 

We do our best to accommodate emergencies and appreciate you understanding that we are real people answering your calls and emails and trying to run a small business!

Please wear clothes that can get dirty! Do not wear sandals – sorry, no exceptions, bring an old hand towel and, if you have one, an apron. We have a changing room if needed.

While we are glad that you found our studio and love meeting other clay folks, our studio is reserved for our members. To become a member you must take two four-week classes, which gives you an opportunity to learn our studio operations and get experience with our clays and glazes.  This also allows us to become familiar with your skill level and build a relationship with you. Exceptions (after a single four-week class) are made at the discretion of the studio manager.

Expect a two-week turnaround for finished work. You should receive an email when your work is ready to be picked up; if you haven’t received an email within two weeks, feel free to email or drop by the studio. We will hold work for 14 days after the reminder email is generated. Please reach out if you can’t make it in and we are happy to set work aside or ship to you for an additional fee.
