Class Basics
You must be at least 18 to enroll in this class.
Proof of Covid-19 vaccination is required to participate in the class.
If you might miss a class please let your instructor know in advance. We will do our best to arrange for you to sit in on another class.
What to wear:
Consider wearing old comfortable clothes, as working with clay is a wet and dusty pastime and some clays may stain your clothing. Many potters wear an apron in the studio, so please feel free to bring your own from home.
If you have long hair, you may wish to bring a hair tie.
It is easier to work with soft clay if you have shorter nails.
Studio Basics
Please follow all studio rules to ensure the safety of everyone in this clay community.
Please be respectful of our neighbors when outside, as there is a residential unit above the studio.
There is no reserved parking at the studio but street parking is usually easy to find.
