Each workshop is offered for 1 month and they fill REALLY fast. So if you see a time you want, we recommend booking asap. :)
Once you get in the studio and start creating you will see it is like a time warp! Time flies when you are having fun! As you would expect, it is really hard to know exactly how much time you will need. Every artist is different and often you may want to practice a bit before making your final piece.
But! You don’t have to complete the project in one sitting. In fact, some cannot be completed in one day. Often clay needs to be fired in the kiln before you can glaze (paint) your art. Each project has a recommended booking time and how many visits are required in the description.
Book as many days and times as you like. You have 1 month to finish each project. We will hold the project for up to 30 days from the first time you booked. After this time the step by steps and instructions will no longer be available.
*Projects must be picked within 2 weeks after the 30 day booking period.
The studio is currently set up with numerous workstations that can accommodate up to 2 people. To book, choose 1 workstation for yourself OR for only $5 extra share a station with a friend. Each of you will still have your own materials & work on your own project but you will share the tablespace. Please book the appropriate number of stations for your party.
If your party is larger than 2, please book more workstations using the quantity button. Please book the appropriate amount of workstations for your party. If you have some people who will be sharing a station, and some not, you may have to add the bookings to your cart separately (once for the sharers, once for the solos).
For example, if you have 6 people in your group, and everyone will be sharing stations, please select "yes" under sharing and select 3 in the quantity button.
If in your group of 5, you have 4 people who will be sharing, and 1 that needs their own workstation, please select "yes" under sharing and book 2 stations (add to your cart). Then, come back to the page and select "no" under sharing and book 1 more station.
