Yes, you can personalize the design!

All our classes are taught step-by-step by one of our talented instructors. No experience is needed, all materials and first kiln fire are included. If you would like to paint (glaze) your pottery after the workshop, you can book a glazing session for $15/hour (not included in the hand-building workshop price). The glazing fee covers painting materials (underglazes) and two additional kiln firings to make your pieces food-safe and/or water-resistant. Pieces are ready to glaze about week after the workshop, and we hold them at the studio for up to two months while you book your glazing appointment!

Clay 101

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay.
