Our Services

  • Try one of our six week classes to learn the full process and make your own pieces to bring home! In our six week classes you will learn how to center the clay, form the walls of the vessel, trim and refine the shape, and lastly how to glaze your finished pieces.

    Classes are offered for beginners through advanced students. All classes include up to 25 lbs of clay, and unlimited glazing and firing during the class.

    Classes repeat every six weeks and run for 2.5 hours.

  • One Night Spin is your chance to try wheel throwing pottery in a relaxed and fun environment! Never tried throwing on the pottery wheel? Looking for a fun night out with friends or a new date night idea? Bring your bestie or your beau, a favorite bottle of wine or other libation, and get ready to get those hands dirty.

    This is hosted every Friday and Saturday 7-9pm. In this 2 hour class, one of our instructors will guide you through the process of throwing on the wheel. Participants will get to choose two pieces to have glazed and fired by our studio assistants. Pieces will be ready for pick up in 3-4 weeks at the studio.

  • Want to get creative, but don’t know where to start? Try one of our one day workshops where you will be guided through a project with one of our talented instructors.

    Workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. Pieces are either available to take that day, or will be available in 3-4 weeks, depending on the project.

  • Looking for a more private experience? One on one lessons are available with Alexa Rucinski as scheduling allows. These are great for beginners looking to try get a headstart, or advanced students needing help mastering a specific skill.

  • We offer a variety of kid workshops for ages 5–16, many of which are seasonally themed throughout the year. These workshops provide a fun, creative, and hands-on experience—perfect for bonding as a family while making a unique piece of art to cherish for years to come.

Memberships include your own shelf, unlimited use of studio glazes, unlimited firing on items made in the studio, discounts on workshops, early access to classes, and more!
