Our Class Structure
We structure our classes in a unique and flexible format. We know that your life is busy and chaotic and we want your studio time to be able to fit into that as seamlessly as possible.
​
As a part of membership, you can sign up for any of our offered classes. We offer approx. 16 different class times each week. Most of which are in our standard format.
Our class schedule can be found below.
We offer classes for wheel-throwing, hand-building, and the stuff in between!
Standard Class Format
Most of our classes are not structured as multi-class series, but individual classes with a maximum of 5 students.
​
When signing up for the class, via our member portal, you'll have the opportunity to add class topic requests. This gives the instructor the ability to prepare for whatever you are working on. Since there are only 5 students per class, we get a lot of time to work with each student at their level.
​
So you get to decide what projects to learn and what pace to work at! With the help and guidance of hands-on instructors, of course.
​
No topic is off limits! We will try our best to help with any request and our highly experienced staff is up for the challenge.
Topic Classes
In addition to our standard classes, some of our classes are assigned special topics. These are still one-off classes but focusing on one topic.
​
These themes rotate around but include things like:
-
Using Metallic Luster
-
Mixing Custom Glazes
-
Working with Colored Clay
-
Decorating Techniques
-
& In-Depth Design - such as Mug, Bowl, and Compositional Design
Series Classes
We also offer class series on specific topics. These classes typically meet every other week for 4 classes. These classes aren't quite as scheduling flexible but give students the opportunity to dive deeper into one topic and learn as a group.
​
Regular Series Include:
-
Carving and Decorating Techniques
-
Exploring Open Forms such as bowls and platters
-
Jewelry
-
Illustrative Storytelling
-
Paperclay
-
And more...

Membership + Open Studio
Our classes are offered as a part of our membership. We offer just one option, you'll always have access to knowledge and classes and there is no restriction to practice time between classes.
​
The studio is open everyday from 8 am to 11 pm.
Scheduled classes are held in classrooms within the studio, allowing other studio members to work independently during all business hours.
​
SUPPLIES
Membership includes tools and glaze. The only thing you'll need to buy is clay.
Clay is available for purchase in-house for Clay Art Center prices. The cost for clay ranges between $18-$30 per 25 lb bag.
