Please read FAQs for Parking Instructions.

  • What happens in the class?

    Your instructor will demonstrate how to throw a bowl on the potter’s wheel. Each student will aim to create 1 unique piece of their own. We’ll take care of the firing and glazing!

    When will my work be ready?

    Ceramics can be a time consuming process. Your creations must go through a long drying period, glazing, and 2 kiln firings before they’ll be ready to take home. This can take around 3 weeks. We promise it’s worth the wait.

    How do I prepare?

    Wear comfortable clothes that you’re okay with getting little messy. The clay will wash out, but the memories last a lifetime.

    Long hair? You’ll want to tie it back. Rings, watches, and bracelets can be tucked away for the duration of your class.

    Where can I park?

    You can take advantage of the free public parking located all around Carrboro.

    Parking deck located behind 300 E Main St.

    Parking lot located at 108 E Main St.

    DO NOT PARK AT CARR MILL MALL. This is a tow zone.

  • Clayboro Studios is not liable or responsible for any accidental injury to students or any loss or damage to personal possessions.

    Students must collect work within 60 days of their class. After 60 days, pieces are subject to removal from the premises.

    Ceramics can be unpredictable. The goal is for each student to take home a completed work of art; however, sometimes things go wrong in the kiln. While we do all we can to keep your pieces safe, Clayboro Studios cannot guarantee satisfactory results.

  • You can take advantage of the plentiful free public parking located within a few minutes walk to Clayboro.

    We recommend:

    Public parking deck located behind 300 E Main St. (Close to the Hampton Inn)

    Municipal parking lot located at 108 E Main St.

    DO NOT PARK AT CARR MILL MALL. This is a tow zone.
