Upon completion of Steps 1 and 2 you can then return as a member and access our wheels and practice clay at no additional charge until you are ready to purchase your own clay and learn the art of glazing. Be prepared to spend up to 6 months practicing before keeping any pieces. It takes time to develop the techniques needed to be successful at throwing small pieces and keeping them to glaze.
We are both a teaching studio and a community studio for members to use.
