Make Up Policy: Quick make-up sessions are possible in a 30 minutes increment before a pre-scheduled ongoing class with teacher approval. 

You will be working with "real" stoneware clays and glazes.  It is the same materials we use in the production of our mid-fired stoneware.  Everything you make will be food, microwave, dishwasher, and oven safe.  All pottery is subject to cracking, blistering and glaze running which make your piece unfunctional due to the firing process.  We do everything we can to prevent defects but is part of the pottery experience.  

Adult pottery classes range in size from 6 -10 people.  Class may be canceled last minute due to low enrollment.  Payment is required at the time of sign-up to secure a spot in the class.

Please wear appropriate clothing for getting clay on, trim your fingernails, tie back long hair and remove any hand accessories.

Finished pottery pieces not picked up in 90 days will be discarded.
