How to get started

Classes are offered on an on-going basis. You can begin a session of 10 consecutive classes whenever space is available at a time that works for you.

A fee of $350 will reserve a wheel for you in your chosen class. It covers personalized instruction and materials, including clay, use of tools and equipment, glazes and firing. More advanced students may incur additional glaze-firing fees for larger pots. Once you begin a class session, no refunds will be made.

To register, call the studio to arrange for a non-refundable deposit of $70 to hold the spot for you (the $70 is applied to the class fee). We generally do not enroll people more than three-weeks before they plan to begin. If you know you want to enroll but can't start right away, ask to be added to the waiting list for your preferred classes.

We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. Checks and cash are also accepted.

When you come to class, wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, bring an old towel for wiping your hands, clip your fingernails short, tie back long hair, and remember that pottery is a process—patience and perseverance are helpful.

The studio provides the basic tools for throwing and glazing pots, so in the beginning you do not need to buy any. But as you advance, you may want to purchase your own tools. We sell basic kits, special brushes, stains, trimming tools, custom-made ribs, throwing sticks, bats and other gizmos.
