Join our hands-on pottery workshops. From handbuilding basics to advanced wheel throwing, master the art of ceramics in a calm, creative space.
Working with clay requires patience, focus, and a willingness to embrace imperfection. We teach techniques that endure.
Our instructors provide hands-on support, helping you navigate the technical aspects of moisture control, centering, and trimming.
We supply rich, textured stoneware clays and a curated palette of signature glazes to ensure your pieces stand the test of time.
Learn pinching, coiling, and slab construction. Perfect for crafting mugs, plates, and sculptural forms without the wheel.
Focus strictly on centering and pulling walls on the pottery wheel. Prior experience with clay is strongly recommended.
Explore surface decoration techniques, underglazes, and wax resists. Bring your bisqueware to life.
Ceramics cannot be rushed. Understanding the distinct phases of moisture loss and firing is crucial to a successful studio practice.
Whether on the wheel or at the slab roller, this is the active forming stage. The clay is highly malleable and requires structural care to prevent collapsing.
Once partially dried to a cheese-like consistency, pieces are trimmed to define bases, add handles, and carve away excess weight.
Fully dry pieces are fired twice. The first firing solidifies the structure, preparing it to absorb liquid glazes before the final high-temperature kiln cycle.
Kilns are loaded weekly. Turnaround times vary depending on drying conditions and glaze requirements.
Clay is messy. Wear comfortable, older clothing and flat, closed-toe shoes. We recommend tying back long hair and keeping fingernails trimmed for wheel work.
Yes, all standard stoneware clays, slips, glazes, and firing costs are included in the workshop fees. Specialized tools are provided for in-studio use.
Due to the sequential nature of our workshops, make-up sessions are limited to open studio hours subject to availability.
We will notify you via email when pieces are unloaded from the final glaze firing. Unclaimed work is donated after thirty days.
Spaces are strictly limited to ensure personal guidance. Review our schedule or reach out directly to secure a spot at the studio.
