Common questions

What should I bring?

Bring an apron. Also, if you have any trimming tools you may bring those to class. If you do not have your own tools, you may borrow some from our studio. 

​

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothing that you won’t mind getting clay on. Most clays do not stain and can wash out, however if your class is working with iron-rich clays then staining may occur. We recommend long hair be tied back and jewelry be removed before class begins. 

​

How does the glazing and firing of my work, work?

Glazing and firing of your work is included in the class fee.
