Service Description

For potters already familiar with the basics of throwing: Are you having trouble centering larger amounts of clay? Maybe you'd like to throw pots with thinner walls? Want to learn how to measure pots for lids that fit? Or perhaps you've just bought your first kiln and would like time with a seasoned potter to learn how to program and run it, safely and with confidence. This by-the-hour option allows you to pick the skill that you would like to focus on, without the commitment of keeping work and needing to return. We will only book the time needed to go over what you want to practice. Graduates of my 9-hour course receive a discount: $50/hr. A quick note: This class takes place in my private home studio, which is inside my house. We have two very friendly dogs that have access to my studio area. I can shut them out of the studio area during the class in case there is a fear of dogs, and I do try to keep the studio clean of excess dog hair, but if you have an allergy to dogs I cannot guarantee you won't have a reaction.


Cancellation Policy

Cancellations with full reimbursement will be accepted up to 5 days prior to the start date of a class or workshop. If you request a cancellation with less than 5 days before the class start date, you will be partially reimbursed, less $50 for the preparation of the materials you would have used in the class.
