Course Content

• We can accommodate most ceramics topics including:

  • Hand Building

  • Wheel Throwing

  • Surface Decoration

  • Special Projects (i.e. jars with lids, wall hangings, sculpture, etc.)

  • Any combination of skills or projects you want to learn, as long as we are able to achieve those goals within the allotted time

Skill Levels

• Co-op classes are great for beginners or more experienced ceramists alike!

Group Sizes

• All co-op classes must have a minimum of 6 participants prior to scheduling

  • If you have 7 - 12 participants, you will receive discounted enrollment!

• Co-op classes cannot have more than 12 participants

• If your co-op class has 8 or less participants when scheduled, we will open the class up to other participants to register

  • If you would rather keep your class private, additional fees will apply

  • Classes with 9 or more committed participants when scheduled will be private by default and will not incur privatization fees

Age Requirements

• For any co-op class that includes wheel throwing, all participants must be 10 years or older

• All participants must be 5 years or older for hand building co-op classes

• Co-op classes may combine adult and child participants but all participants must be registered (adults accompanying children to classes may not participate unless they are registered)

Class Length

• All co-op classes are held on the same day and time once per week for 3 or 6 consecutive weeks and missed classes cannot be made up

  • We are not able to accommodate sessions that are less than 3 weeks in length

• Choose from 1 - 3 hour sessions (in 30 min increments) per week for your class

  • Note that all co-op class participants are required to clean-up during their allotted class time so we require a minimum of 1.5 hours per class for any adult co-op class and 1 hour per class for any kids' co-op class to give ample time for instruction and clean-up

Scheduling and Payment

• We require a minimum of 6 committed participants prior to scheduling your class

• The co-op class organizer is responsible for pre-paying for all participants in order to schedule the class

  • We can provide an itemized receipt to help the organizer collect reimbursement from participants

  • If you have 8 or less participants for your class, we will collect payment from other participants who register (if event is not privatized)

• Co-op classes must be paid and reserved at least 8 weeks before the first class begins

• We will do our best to accommodate your requested days and times but we ask for your flexibility in scheduling, as we are a teaching studio with a robust class offering that may prevent us from accommodating your scheduling request

  • We generally have more availability on weekdays between 10am and 5pm and on weekends after 1pm
