Route Schematic
Studio route & workflow
A straightforward sequence guides your piece from wet clay to finished object.
Forming
Make something out of clay—jewelry dishes, coil pots, or other handbuilt forms during the hands-on portion of the session.
Leather-hard stage
Pieces are brought to leather hard so they can be handled for further finishing and glazing.
Glazing and studio finishing
Glaze is applied and the studio takes care of firing and finishing; you can purchase any pots you want to keep and the studio handles the rest.
Return pickup
Your finished pot is available for pickup in approximately 2–3 weeks after the session.
Wear something you’re okay getting a little dirty in; clay work can soil clothing and hands.
