Pricing is $75 per person, per 120-minute session. Classes are small, 4 people maximum per session. If coming with a friend, please sign up together to ensure availability.
All materials provided (1 lb clay, tools, aprons, wheels). Your pottery piece will be bisque fired in 10-14 days, at that time we'll call to let you know it's ready for glaze (paint). Come in and glaze during any business hours then we will fire it a second time to a shiny finish. Ready for pick up one week after glazing.
Things to consider before class....trimmed nails are helpful...aprons are provided, but clothes you don't mind getting muddy are recommended (the clay will wash out)...short sleeves are helpful....you'll want to remove rings and bracelets before throwing
