How It Works
What to expect.
Step 1
Book or inquire
Lessons for two go straight on the calendar. For a solo lesson, send the form below with a few dates that could work — we'll reply by email with availability and hold a time.
Step 2
Confirm and pay
Once we've settled on a date, payment confirms the booking.
Step 3
Come make
Arrive a few minutes early. Your instructor covers the basics, then you make — usually a cup, a bowl, or a small vessel. Clay, tools, and aprons are provided.
Step 4
We fire, you pick up
We trim, glaze, and fire everything for you. Turnaround is about 3–5 weeks, and we'll let you know when your pieces are ready.
