Arrive with a towel
Bring a small hand towel to keep your hands and tools dry between throws; the studio provides aprons.
Wear easy-to-clean clothes
Expect splatters—choose clothing you don’t mind getting dirty and closed-toe shoes for studio safety.
Ask for one-on-one adjustments
With a maximum of ten students, request individual coaching on posture and hand placement to speed improvement.
Plan glazing ahead
Firing and glazing are extra—ask about kiln schedules early to ensure your pieces are returned when you need them.
Apron
Protects clothing; the studio provides one but bringing your own is more comfortable.
Hand towel
Useful for drying hands and smoothing rims between throws.
Notebook and pencil
Record wheel speeds, measurements and glazing ideas between sessions.
Own clay (optional)
If you prefer a specific body, bring it—studio stocks a small range for purchase.
