Intro Workshops

Intro workshops are a great place to start for a hands-on, beginner friendly ceramics experience!

In these 2 hour workshops, we cover the basics of throwing clay on the potter’s wheel - from centering to shaping simple vessels - in a relaxed setting.

After the class, I’ll carefully trim and glaze your pieces on your behalf - creating a one-of-a-kind collaborative piece showcasing the fullest potential of your creations.

Firing and Pick Up

Once your pieces are made, they go through multiple processes to transform the clay into finished ceramic.

I carefully trim and refine each piece before it is dried, bisque fired, and glazed.

This process requires time to make sure your pieces achieve their best results.

Typically, this is about 4-6 weeks after your class.

You’ll receive an email notification as soon as they’re ready for pick up.

Collection

Finished pieces must be collected within 3 weeks after you receive a pick up notification. After this period, unclaimed work may be removed due to limited studio storage capacity.

We encourage you to take good care of your creations - they are a one-of-a-kind partnership between us!

The ceramics we create will be food safe, oven safe, microwave friendly, and dishwasher safe.

However, to extend the life of your pieces, we recommend hand washing to avoid accidental knocks and chips.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!

We appreciate your patience and look forward to returning your creations to you!
