Ways to make

Six-week wheel class

$285 per person

Tuesdays, January 5–February 9, 2027, 6–8:30pm. Six students, ages 16 and up. Includes tools, 12.5 pounds of clay, studio glazes and firing for up to six pieces, each no larger than 8 inches in any direction.

Open-studio membership

$110 per month

Twelve studio hours each month, one shelf and firing for up to six pieces no larger than 8 inches in any direction. For independent makers after orientation. Studio clay is $25 per 12.5-pound bag; unused hours do not roll over.

Outside kiln firing

From $35 per shelf / firing

One 18-inch round shelf with up to 5 inches of height. Bisque at cone 04 or glaze at cone 6 in oxidation. Each firing is charged separately. Larger or taller loads are quoted after review.

Holiday mug-making night

$58 per person

Friday, December 4 or 11, 2026, 6–8pm. Ages 16 and up. Handbuild one mug from a slab of clay; no wheel experience needed. Clay, tools, one studio glaze and both firings are included.

For independent makers

Member sessions run Tuesday–Friday, noon–5pm, and Saturday, 10am–4pm. Reserve a wheel or table within those hours. Membership begins after an orientation and a conversation about working independently; instruction is not included.

For outside firing, bring the clay body and glaze labels first. Work must be fully dry, with clean unglazed feet, and suited to our firing temperature. We may decline unknown materials. Accepted loads usually take 2–3 weeks; we agree on timing at intake.

December 4 & 11 · 6–8pm

A mug for a winter morning.

Roll out clay, wrap a mug shape and attach a handle. Choose a studio glaze color, then leave the drying and firing with us.

Finished mugs are usually ready 3–4 weeks after class. These dates do not promise pickup before December 25. We confirm pickup when the firing is complete.

A few studio questions

Do I need to bring tools or clay?

No. Tools and clay are included in the six-week class and mug-making nights. Wear clothes you can get muddy and closed-toe shoes. An apron is useful if you have one.

Can I bring any clay for outside firing?

Please show us the clay body and glaze labels before bringing finished work. We accept only materials we can identify and fit to our firing schedule. Unknown clay or glaze may be declined.
