We want you to learn what it takes to throw a pot, but it's just as important to us that you have a good experience.You will get a chance to try out a potter's wheel and get your hands dirty, while our instructor helps you to make your own unique pot. We provide everything you need. All you have to do is come ready to have a good time, and remember to wear clothes that can get dirty (this includes shoes).

Please remember the following rules:
Please wear clothes and shoes you can get dirty, trim your fingernails, and leave your watch and rings at home. Clay is messy and we don't want you to lose anything. If you have long hair, you will want to wear it back.

Getting an early start helps you enjoy the peaceful morning ambiance and space to focus.
Choose attire that can get messy, as working with clay can be unpredictable.
Although the studio provides some, bringing your apron helps keep your clothes clean during sculpting.
