How it works

Working with clay is simple and rewarding. We prepare clay slabs on which you imprint texture. A quick demo on texturing and a practice slab allows each guest to experiment before beginning their chosen project. When you are finished texturing, you then construct your project. Our staff explains the whole process and will guide you along the way, providing help and encouragement. It’s fun. When you are finished hand-building your project, you select a glaze choice from our test tile display. We do all the rest. Projects are dried, bisque fired, glazed and then fired again. Most projects are ready for picked up within 3 weeks. Shipping also available. Most guests spend about two hours enjoying this process.

Our pricing is simple.  We offer a selection of guest projects ranging from $8 to $46.  Coaching and encouragement, as well as everything you need to complete your project is included with your purchase.

CORPORATE OFF SITES and team building

We offer the option to reserve the entire studio accommodating up to 32 guests. Team members choose from a selection of walk-in projects. Project choices range from trays to mugs and vases. Our most popular project is our large mug. We prepare your project slabs in advance and provide all the tools and textures necessary to complete your projects. We coach and encourage you along the way, offering help as needed. When you finish your projects, you then select your glaze option from our displayed test tiles. We do all the rest. Projects are dried, bisque fired, glazed and then fired again. Projects will be completed and available for pick up or delivery within three weeks.
