FAQs

Find answers to your most common pottery questions right here!

Do I need any experience to join a session?

Not at all! Our sessions welcome total beginners and seasoned makers alike. We focus on creative exploration, not prerequisites.

Are these pottery “classes” or something else?

We don’t offer formal classes or certifications. Instead, we provide guided creative sessions in a supportive community space—think of it as making pottery with friends and experienced makers nearby.

Can I host a private event like a birthday or team-building activity?

Yes! We offer “Clay & Celebrate” private events for groups of all kinds. It’s a relaxed, hands-on way to connect while making something unique together.

What’s the difference between hand-building and wheel sessions?

Hand-building uses techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab work—no wheel needed. Wheel sessions focus on throwing functional pieces like mugs and bowls with hands-on support from our studio team.

Do you offer kids’ or teen programs?

Absolutely! We have dedicated sessions for teens (wheel) and younger kids (hand-building), designed to be fun, safe, and imagination-led.

How do I sign up or check availability?

We operate on a bi-monthly enrollment basis. Reach out via our Contact page to see what’s open and find your best fit. (New openings in January, March, May, July, September, and November.)

Can I just walk in to try pottery once?

We don’t offer single walk-ins, but we do welcome new participants into our 4- or 8-week session cycles. It’s the best way to settle in and get comfortable with the process. For one-time experiences, try our events: Partteries or Moonlights.

Do you sell pottery supplies or finished pieces?

Yes! We offer clay for sale (pre-order needed). Participants can also display and sell their work on consignment in our studio storefront.

Is this a school or licensed educational program?

No—we’re a creative pottery studio, not a school. Our focus is on hobby-based making, community, and personal expression, not grades, curricula, or diplomas.

How do I get help during a session if I’m stuck?

Our studio team is always with you and happy to offer hands-on support. Just ask! We encourage a collaborative, low-pressure environment.

Can I work on my own projects during open studio or session time?

Yes! While beginners often follow foundational prompts, all makers are welcome to explore their own ideas—especially during open studio hours or as workspace members.

What’s included in the monthly session fee?

Your fee covers weekly guided making time, basic tools, clay, and glaze firing. Bisque firing is available for an additional per-piece size rate.

How does firing work?

We offer bisque and glaze firing services for registered participants. Just label your pieces clearly, and our team handles the rest. Pricing is posted in-studio.

Can I sell the work I make here?

Yes! We offer consignment shelving in our storefront. You keep 70% of sales, and we handle display and transactions.

What’s the difference between a session participant and a workspace member?

Session participants join weekly guided making times. Workspace members are independent potters with studio access during operating hours, dedicated shelf space, and firing services.

Do you offer critiques or formal feedback?

Not in a traditional sense. Our studio guides may offer technical tips or creative suggestions if asked, but we don’t do formal critiques—this is your creative space.

Can I bring my own clay or glazes?

For safety and kiln compatibility (cone 6), we ask that all work fired in our studio use our approved materials. Ask for our policies about using your own clay or glazes.

How do I renew or pause my membership?

Workspace memberships renew monthly (no partial monthly payments). Let us know at least 5 days before your renewal if you’d like to pause or cancel.

Is there storage for works in progress?

Yes! All participants get temporary shelf space during their session. Workspace members receive dedicated, labeled shelving for ongoing projects.
