Question 1

Do I need any experience?

Accepted Answer

Nope! This class is designed for absolute beginners. We’ll walk you through each step on the pottery wheel.

Question 2

What’s included with my ticket?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket includes guided instruction, clay, tools, use of a wheel, and a bisque firing of your piece(s).

Question 3

What is the glazing add-on?

Accepted Answer

If you’d like your best piece glazed and fully fired by our studio team, select the Glazing + Final Firing add-on at checkout. Your finished piece will be food-safe, dishwasher safe, and ready for pickup in about 3–4 weeks. If you don’t choose the add-on, your piece will be bisque fired only.

Question 4

How many pieces can I make?

Accepted Answer

You can create as many pieces as you like during the workshop, but only 1 piece will get fired to keep. You get to choose at the end which piece you would like to have fired.

Question 5

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Wear clothes you don’t mind getting clay on and things that are easy to move in. We recommend a t-shirt and jeans (or leggings). Aprons are not provided, so we recommend bringing your own hand towel and apron.  Short nails and ponytails for long hair are also helpful.

Question 6

Can I bring food or alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Contact us directly to inquire about food and drinks. It's not encouraged but we do make exceptions (especially for private groups).

Question 7

What’s the age requirement?

Accepted Answer

This workshop is for ages 14+. Teens must be accompanied by an adult.

Question 8

When will my pottery be ready for pickup?

Accepted Answer

Bisque-fired pieces are ready in about 2 weeks. Glazed and finished pieces are ready in about 3–4 weeks. We will communicate with you at the end of class the scheduled pick-up time for your workshop (pick-up's take place on Saturdays).

Question 9

What’s your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred to another person or rescheduled for a future session with at least 24 hours’ notice.
