  • What happens in the class?

    This class will be curated specifically to each student’s interest! Let us know what you would like to learn, and we will make it happen. Not sure what you’re looking for? We will default to our standard beginner-friendly curriculum!

    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. That whole process can take 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 2 completed pieces; 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.

  • Should you need to cancel your booking, you will receive a full refund if cancelation request is made at least 48 hours prior to class. Cancelations made within 48 hours of class are not eligible for a refund. There is a $20 fee for rescheduling requests made within 48 hours of original class time.

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