Working with clay is mesmerizing - and challenging - After a tour of the studio, guests will don aprons and sit down at their own wheels to "throw" pottery. We work "hands-on," with each person to insure that you make up to 5 beautiful vessels. If you decide that you want to "finish" your pieces, there are 4 more steps: trimming, bisqueing, glazing and high-firing. The process takes about a month, and the potters at FIRESTICK will do this work for you for a fee of $15 per piece. This price includes a glazing class, if you'd like to come back within 3 months, or you may select your colors and we'll glaze for you. After that, we can ship your pottery anywhere in the country.HAND-BUILDING and SCULPTING - Some guests (especially kids under 8) might prefer "handbuilding," rather than the wheel." If you'd like a teacher to work with you or your kids on hand-building, please let us know in advance. The fee is the same.CLAY IS A MAGICAL MATERIAL - Every student is different, and everyone receives individual instruction. You can make ANYTHING that you'd like, and our gallery will give you lots of ideas. Your only limitation is your imagination!Class size MAXIMUM is 8 - for larger groups or to schedule a different time or date please contact us at 805-272-8760Cancelation policyCancelations must be made 24 hours before the morning of the scheduled workshop.
