DESCRIPTION
Private lessons offer personalized instruction in handbuilding or on the potter’s wheel for a group of friends, a family, or just yourself. Decide what project you would like to make and the instructor will walk you through each step. After your lesson, the studio will glaze each piece in your choice of one food-safe glaze color. Finished pieces will be ready to be picked up in 4-6 weeks.
Recommended duration:
1.5 hours = No experience / First lesson
Potter’s wheel (minimum age 14) OR handbuilding.
One clay project per student (Additional pieces are $10 each)
2 hours = More in depth instruction for the Potter’s wheel and/or handbuilding with enough time to socialize and refine your work.

All materials, tools, towels and aprons
Personalized instruction with additional 30-45 mins for cleanup (we tidy together!)

We will contact you to arrange a pick up appointment.Please note that we are a dog-friendly studio. Pets may be present at your class. Well-behaved pets are welcome.

After each lesson, we spend 30–45 minutes cleaning and drying workstations together. This prevents hazardous clay dust and keeps our space safe for everyone (including pups!).
Don’t want to clean? Add an optional Cleaning Fee to your cart, and we’ll handle it for you.
