Find a seat, make yourself a cup of tea, create and play. What will you make with a sphere of the earth?

If you have never touched clay before or it has been several decades, or even if you have a regular practice, we invite you to embrace play and give yourself permission to create.

Firing and pick up

You leave all the glazing and firing to us. Participant will choose from our current glaze options and each piece will get a full dip into the glaze. Turn around time is usually about 3 weeks but can be up to 6. We blast our mailing list and socials whenever we fire explaining what is ready for pick up, pick up walk in’s are available during open clay hours. We post our schedule every month.

Classroom Etiquette and Policy

This is a meditative space.

Kids

Although this space was built with adults in mind, children are welcome to open clay up to the parents discretion of their attention and motor skills. They should have the ability to respect the peaceful creative space and be careful with tools. 10 years old is the suggested youngest age limit, but this may vary from child to child. They must be accompanied by a participating adult and all members of the party must register.
