Your mugs will be fired and glazed in the color of your choosing. They will be ready for pick up 2-3 weeks after class ends.

  • What happens in the class?

    Over the course of 6 weeks, your instructor will guide you step-by-step in the entire ceramic making process. You will learn the fundamentals of working with clay, and leave 6 weeks later feeling confident in your understanding of clay as a creative medium.

    What’s included?

    Each 6-week class comes with small class sizes and expert instruction. Clay, tools, glazes, and firings are all included in your workshop. Students may access the studio during Open Studio Hours to continue working on their pieces between classes.

    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.
