What to expect

You’ll get your hands dirty! Whether it’s your first time touching clay or you’ve been at it for a while, our classes are designed to be welcoming, a little messy, and a lot of fun.

We’ll guide you through the basics, give you space to experiment, and help when you get stuck (which is part of the process). Expect to slow down, focus, and make something with your hands.

This is a working ceramics studio, not a paint-your-own pottery experience. You’ll be learning real techniques, working with wet clay, and building skills over time.

​

All materials — clay, tools, glazes, even aprons — are included. Just show up.

​

What to wear

Please wear closed-toed shoes and clothing you don’t mind getting a little dirty. Clay washes out, but it has a way of getting everywhere.

​

Studio etiquette

Everyone helps reset the studio at the end of class. This means cleaning your tools, wiping down your space, and leaving things ready for the next group.

​

Age Requirements
