There's lots you can make on the wheel and it's all fun! If this is your first time go with the flow of the clay. Everyone makes roughly 2-4 pieces of pottery. It can range from abstract vases to bowls, pet dishes or tumblers. We do not have a size restriction for height or width of your pieces!

How this workshop works

• Sign up online, over the phone or by visiting the studio.
• Day of: Dress for Mess! We recommend wearing clothes you can get muddy in. Think rainy day gardening muddy.
• Show up 5-15 minutes early. We promise we're friendly, there's lots to see in our studio PLUS sometimes there are dogs here!
• The teacher will demo the wheel and give you an overview as to how it works. They can be hands on and will help centre clay for you.
• Cleanup is a shared activity. Everyone lends a hand and is responsible for cleaning their space.

• Rings and wrist jewelry can make it hard to throw as well as long fingernails!
• DRESS FOR MESS! Or bring a change of clothes

Pick Up

There's a saying  "nothing like pottery to teach you patience". We trim bisque fire, glaze & glaze fire your pieces for you. Pieces usually take 2-3 weeks. We email everyone when the pieces are ready for pick up. We fire according to size and best fit in the kiln. You pieces will be initialled so give yourself time to find them when you come!
