A Note About Cleaning:

Learning how to clean up is an integral part of the ceramics process. As a community-centered studio, we feel that everyone, regardless of age or experience, must appropriately clean up after themselves when participating in our classes, workshops, events, private lessons, and open studio. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
