Clay at Home: Click here to download a document on some of the basic Do's & Don'ts of a safe home studio. While I really wanted to provide projects and tutorials online, it has not come to fruition. However, there are a ton of artists and studios who are. I highly recommend following these pages on Instagram: @petalumapottery, @debspottery, @saltstoneclasses, @shinygbird, and @dannymeisinger (for those who like to go big). If you have other favorites, let me know and I will add them to the list.

Services Available Without Membership:
- Drop off finished greenware to be bisque fired. Must be at least leather hard. Place on the shelf that will have a sign that says "Greenware". Place your pieces as far back and close together as possible to minimize the number of times they need to be touched - they do not need any breathing room...
- Drop off finished glaze ware: If you have your own glazes at home you are welcome to apply them and bring pieces in to be fired.
- Pick up fired bisque or glaze ware finished previously.
- Pick up clay, tools, or underglaze orders. You are welcome to come inside and select items in person, but items are also now available in an on-line store for pick-up only (no shipping). As of June 28 only the clay, glazes, underglazes, and waxes are listed. All the tools will be added as I get pictures taken. In the interim, if you need tools and would prefer not to come inside then email me a list and I will send you an invoice and have it packaged up for you to pick up.
Glaze Application Appointments: People who were students or members previously, or who are at least minimally experienced in clay can make an appointment to use the studio glazes.
- Email heather@burnishclaystudio.com with 2 date/time options for when you would like to come glaze and I will let you know which one is available for you.
- If you are new to clay and are not comfortable glazing on your own I will be happy to help talk you through it (from 6-10 feet away...)
- There is a $15 fee plus sales tax for glaze appointments in addition to the firing fees.
