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.

Is it your first time?

THAT IS AWESOME! We love sharing our love of clay and everything we've learned through years & years (and more years) of playing with clay. This workshop is fantastic for trying out the wheel and introducing yourself to pottery. If it's your first time or even second, don't put any pressure on yourself. Just have fun or get meditative and go with the flow of the clay. If you have questions about pottery before, during or after the class then please ask us!

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!
