Adventure Tips

Wear Clothes You Don’t Mind Getting Dirty

Pottery can be messy, so dress comfortably and in clothing that won’t be ruined by clay or glaze stains.

Arrive a Few Minutes Early

Getting to the studio a bit early helps you get settled, receive instructions, and maximize your crafting time.

Handle Clay with Care

Clay can dry out quickly; keep it moist during your session to avoid cracking or crumbling.

Allow Time for Your Pieces to Fire

Your finished pottery will need to be kiln-fired and glazed, so expect a few weeks before picking up your creations.
