No make up classes are available at this time.

There are a wide variety of skill levels at The Center. If you have never taken a pottery class before, I recommend starting in my Ceramic Fundamentals class, which requires no prior experience. It is not recommended that you sign up for a higher level of class without having taken a fundamentals class with me.

All clay must be purchased through The Center. Glaze can be purchased elsewhere on a case by case basis upon approval from Katy at The Center.

NOTE: memberships are not instructional, and require an independent approach to making. If you are interested in a class format, please take an 8 week class instead.

When do i get to pick up my pottery from a date night or 8 week class?

Pottery takes about a month to dry and process.

If any of your creations are unfired by the 8th week of class, you will be contacted to return to pick up the pot within a month of class ending.

Children over the age of 7 are permitted for private lessons only. Please communicate the age of your child before bringing them to a lesson. Please leave your pets at home for their safety.

Anything else I should know before attending a class?

There is no public bathroom at The Center so please be sure to relieve yourself before arriving. In case of emergencies there is a Starbucks up the road. There is also no heat or air conditioning so be sure to dress according to the weather. And finally, wear clothes you don’t mind getting muddy!
