Do you have an idea for hand-building? No? No problem!!!

Here are a few suggestions that we enjoy.

Spoon Rests and Coaster sets

We aren’t saying that you need something easy - but this is easy if that’s what you are looking for! Come and make a bunch for yourself or for gifts. Use our extensive collection of stamps, stencils, underglaze transfer and texture rollers to make some - pretty - cool - stuff.

Projects will be fired and glazed for you (unless you want to come back and glaze them yourself) in 2 - 3 weeks.

Holidays Holidays Holidays

There is always some kind of holiday coming up, right? Halloween, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter, birthdays (kind of like holidays). Nothing beats a handmade, personalized gift or decoration. Pumpkins, bunnies, angels, personalized mugs - if you can dream it - we can help you make it (you know, within reason and as long as it fits in the kiln.

Pie pans Bread pans Casserole dishes

Form AND function this week. Baking dishes like pie pans, bread pans, casserole dishes can be both beautiful and tough. Our pottery goes through more than 24 total hours of firing to over 2000 degrees, so yes - you can use it in your oven at 425! With the same consideration as glass dishes - drastic temperature changes can cause them to crack so they can’t go straight from the oven to the cold water in the sink.

Drop in Hand-building

Sunday afternoons are a great time for hand-built pottery projects! We will be open from 1 pm to 5 pm most Sunday afternoons. Everyone is welcome to stop in and create something. No experience needed and all supplies included. Instructors will be available to show you the basics. If you know what you want to make and how to do it - then we will just make sure you have what you need. If you have no idea what to make, we will give you some ideas.

$25 per person

Once complete, your project will need to dry and be fired to bisque before glazing. We will take care of that so you can glaze it, usually within two weeks depending on drying time. Then we will fire it to complete and you can pick it up at your leisure.

No need to sign up ahead of time…. although please let us know if you are coming with a group so we can make sure to have enough space.

Need more help?

If you’re looking for a more structured option call to schedule a 1-on-1 hand building session with an instructor! This is a two-hour session with dedicated instruction in hand-buidling techniques or to create a specific project. All supplies included. Groups up to 18 can be accommodated.

Depending on the complexity of your project - you will likely be able to make at least two or three pieces. Finished pieces will be ready to pick up in 2 - 3 weeks.

$30 per person

Optionally, you can sign up for this session, and then plan to come back to do your own finishing and glazing. Finishing and glazing sessions are 1 hour each and are an additional $10 each. Follow up classes will be scheduled separately as the timing depends on drying time for the clay when we fire the kiln.
