General Class Information

In wheel classes, you’ll learn to use the potter’s wheel to create bowls, mugs, teapots, and more. In hand building classes, you’ll create unique ceramic pieces using traditional pottery techniques, including pinching, coils, and slabs.

Students are encouraged to practice whenever the studio is open and classes are not in session. Because classes are small and space is limited, a non-refundable $50 deposit is required to reserve space in a class.

Complete payment is due at first class session. A firing fee is calculated at 3 cents per cubic inch for each piece. (Clay, tools, and glazes included in class fee.)

Due to space limitations, we cannot offer make-up classes.

If you have questions, call us at 212 627-9450.
