Classes - Registration Open

Register below for our next session of 8-week classes which will begin the week of April 11. With this next round of classes we will have a class for kids age 8-12 as well as changing all the Adult classes to be age 16+ to allow mature teens to join in. We do welcome and encourage people (of all ages) who want to work with clay but are not yet comfortable coming in to the studio to make work at home as well. Click here to go to a page describing the options for how we can facilitate clay play at home. 

Please join the 
mailing list to be notified of future classes. 

We feel that with proper precautions and protocols in place we can safely provide this service while still taking the threat of this pandemic seriously.   
  • All classes are limited to 8 students. 
  • Masks covering both your nose and mouth are always required. Bandanas and face shields do not provide sufficient protection and are not accepted as substitutions.
  • If you cannot wear a mask for any reason then we are unable to welcome you inside the studio. We are happy to provide a listing of studios that have online classes and can help provide tools and resources for you to work with clay at home as well as provide contactless pick-up/drop off options for firing work in progress.
  • Wash your hands as soon as you arrive at the studio.
  • Studio wheels and work tables are spaced 6 feet apart. Try to maintain a minimum of 6 feet away from other people in the studio as you travel through the space. Do not crowd around the sinks or the wedging table. 
  • Part of your clean up process at the end of each work session will be to spray down your work area and any studio tools with one of the bottles of  hydrogen peroxide that will be available.
  • If you or anyone you have been in contact with has been exposed to COVID-19 please self-quarantine for 2 weeks.
