Clay to go

Clay to goPrice
3/4 lb ball of clay$24.00

Clay is a natural medium that is so exciting to work with. We’ll happily show you the tools and offer techniques to create your work of art! Clay is priced by weight and includes clay, painting and 2 firings. These prices reflect 1 piece made from 1 ball of clay; many little pieces from 1 ball may incur a small handling fee.

Wheel-throwing classes

$75 per student

Learn to throw on the wheel

Make your very own pottery! We keep classes small for optimized instructor/student attention.

Our classes include everything you need to make two beautiful hand-thrown bowls from clay. After they have been fired, come back to paint and glaze them. It’s all included!

Wheel throwing is best for ages 10 and up, adults welcome! (Good upper body strength is needed.)
