Highlights
Outing Highlights
Two pounds of clay and a kit of studio tools
The session includes 2 lbs of clay and the tools you need to shape it, so you arrive ready to work with raw material rather than supplies.
An open studio—create without instruction
The format gives you unstructured time in the studio: there is creation time built into the session and no formal instruction, so the emphasis is on personal experimentation.
Glaze, fire, and a return in weeks
After forming, pieces are brought to leather-hard, glazed, and handled by the studio; finished work is available for pickup in roughly two to three weeks.

What the session feels like
