We will be continuing to build two absences into the schedule and cost calculation for our classes. This means that a seven week class will be priced at what was previously the cost of a five week class! Feel free to attend all seven weeks as a bonus! However, please be aware that we are no longer be offering additional make ups, to relieve the increasing complexity of scheduling.

Our student directed classes offer an open studio environment with direct one-on-one access to qualified instructors. Classes will max out at 8 students to maintain an ideal intimate student to instructor ratio. Classes will meet once a week for 2.5 hours. On your first day you will be provided with clay. All necessary tools and materials will be provided. Additional clay is always available to purchase if need be.
