What to expect:
  • Pottery is about the process, not just the product. The focus of our beginner clay workshops is to have fun trying something new and enjoy making something by hand.
  • Embrace imperfection - your piece will be unique to you!
  • Be flexible and keep an open mind. It's a good idea to come to the workshop with a photo from pinterest or instagram to spark your creativity. Keep in mind that the projects you see online are done by professional potters with years of experience who may use different techniques and tools (many clay artists kiln fire in between steps, or leave their piece to air-dry for a day and come back to it when it's leather hard). Your instructor can help take your idea and turn it into something achievable within the workshop time frame.
  • Take a photo of your piece during the workshop so you can identify it. Pieces change shape, change colour, and might look very similar to things made by other people.
  • You are responsible for picking up your finished artwork. Firing takes approximately 3 weeks. We send out emails when items are ready for pick up. If you do not receive an email (they do sometimes get lost or go to spam!) you are responsible for emailing a photo of your piece and the date of your workshop to [email protected]. Items not picked up may be disposed of due to limited shelf space.
  • Oops - it fell apart! Working with clay takes practice and patience. Every time you work with clay it's a chance to learn something new. If your piece breaks because of a construction issue, we hope that you will come back and try again. Please listen to your instructor's tips for scratching & attaching, not overworking the clay, and making things the correct thickness (no thinner than a pencil, no thicker than 2 pencils). Our studio team handles every item with care, but we cannot guarantee that items will be free of issues when fired. Policies here.
