Question 1

Is there parking?

Accepted Answer

Yes! There is parking in front of our business and an adjacent parking lot should more spots be needed.

Question 2

Can we use the pieces we make in this workshop?

Accepted Answer

Yes! If there is no crack or hole in the bottom of your bowl/cup/plate then you may use it to eat and drink. The clay and glazes when fully fired are non-toxic and fully functional.

Question 3

What is the mess level?

Accepted Answer

We can't lie, you'll probably get a little messy, but that's part of the fun! We have large aprons, but we suggest coming with a change of clothes if you're going out after or wearing clothes you don't care too much about. The clay will come out of your clothes in the wash, though! :)

Question 4

Do you fire the pieces?

Accepted Answer

YES! Both bisque and glaze firings are included in the workshop fee! :)

Question 5

Do we get to choose the final color?

Accepted Answer

Yes; before leaving for the day you'll fill out a quick form letting me know how you'd like your piece to be glazed! For this workshop, we will allow you to pick the item up at the bisque stage if you have your own means of glazing and firing cone 6 pottery. To glaze your own at our studio is extra.

Question 6

What if I don't want to (or can't) come and pick the piece up once it's done?

Accepted Answer

We can ship it to you for an additional fee! Or if you decide not to pick it up we will smash the piece after 30 days.

Question 7

Will you let us know when the pieces are done?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We will send out an email to all participants from the event letting them know when the work is ready and the times/days they can be picked up. Usually, the turn around is 3 weeks - we need enough work to fill the kiln for 2 firing cycles.
