Pottery Projects: All Pottery Projects are a 2 day event. The first day student create with one of our instructors. Pottery projects then require 24-48hrs to air dry before painting with special underglaze paints that will be provided and left behind after Day 1. Teachers will oversee the painting process and then items will be picked up/dropped off to be fired and picked up/returned back the classroom once complete. Ideally schedule is to create on a Friday – Paint on Monday; or Create Wed – paint Friday. If project needs to be returned by a certain date please indicate in the form above. Projects usually take 2-3 weeks to be completed the firing and glazing process.

After submitting this form, we will respond back with a quote for your event and confirm dates that will fit to our instructor’s schedule. An invoice will be written and submitted to you a week before your Workshop.
