Plan the visit
Arrive ten minutes before your time. Closed-toe shoes are required. Staff supervise every step, from the first demonstration to your turn at the bench.
We confirm the participant ages, available time, full price, and pickup day before taking payment. Give at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to move a confirmed session; another date depends on available space.
Before the session
Can I take my piece home the same day?
No. Your piece cools in the kiln after the session. Pickup begins the following Wednesday at 11am; each session lists its pickup date. We hold completed pieces for 30 days.
Is the session price the same as a gallery ornament?
No. A $68 ornament session includes your time with the instructor, materials, one ornament, and a gift box. Ready-made gallery ornaments are $24–$42.
A date at the furnace.
Choose a session and tell us a time that works. We confirm the place, price, and pickup day before booking.
