Play with Clay
For a more hands on experience give hand building a try!
Service Description
If you’re looking for a fun activity for a large group or maybe you're not quite ready for the wheel, hand building is a super fun activity for anyone. During this 90 minute lesson you have the option of making a bowl or mug. I’ll first start with a short 5-7 minute demo going through the slab and coiling methods you’ll be using to create your piece. After the demonstration, the rest of the time is yours to create. You will be rolling out the clay, cutting it to size, attaching it together and finally smoothing it all out. I will have easy to follow step by step instructions printed out on your station so don’t worry if you feel overwhelmed! The class is designed so that you can go at your own pace and also feel supported through the steps. After the lesson, I will then bisque fire, glaze and then glaze fire your piece before it’s ready for you to pick up. It’ll take about 4-5 weeks until your piece is completely finished. Just to be clear, you are signing up for a private one on one pottery experience! This is not a group class with other people. Session Includes: 90 minutes of instruction Materials 1 finished piece The hours of studio classes are limited, if none of these times work send me an email and we can set up a time that works for you.

Cancellation Policy
In the event you cannot make it to your scheduled class you need to contact me to reschedule at least 24 hrs in advance. If no contact is made your entire payment will not be refunded. If you are more than 30 minutes late then your lesson will be canceled and your payment cannot be refunded. If you communicate far enough in advance and want to reschedule I can make it work. In the case that you need to cancel or rebook your lesson I cannot refund you your entire payment. There is a 5% transactional fee that my website charges me with every purchase, so if you need a refund you will be refunded the amount of your lesson minus 5%. Keep this in mind before booking. I have this policy in place because every time someone cancels, my website can charge me anywhere from $5-$15 depending on the booking.
