FAQ

Do we offer children’s classes?

No. Our classes are adults only.  Occasionally we might admit a talented high school senior with at least two semesters of pottery experience and a recommendation from his/her teacher.

Is it possible to rent just a couple of hours to throw on the wheel?

No. We only offer four or eight week classes. We also do not offer “date nights” nor is the studio available for private parties. 

What can I expect to accomplish in a four week class?

Four week classes are fundamentally beginners’ classes designed to acquaint you with the basics of working with clay and to give you the opportunity to decide whether you like the stuff or not. You will be taught to throw clay on the wheel, but you need to understand that this is far more difficult than it looks. You will also be given instruction on working with slabs and/or making pinch pots, and you will learn to glaze.  Generally, first time students are able to create three or four pieces.

What if I miss a class?

When you sign up for a four-week session, you aren’t required to attend consecutive weeks. However, we ask that you complete your four weeks within an eight week period.  Also, if you are going to miss more than two weeks in a row, please let us know.

Eight week classes run consecutively, so if you miss a week, you can’t make it up by simply adding it at the end of the eight weeks.  You can however, make it up by attending another class within the same week or by taking advantage of our free Open Studio time. We understand that people often have work schedules that can interfere with time in the studio and we try to be as flexible as possible, so talk to us so we can work it out with you.
