Date Night


Our private lesson for two, in wheel or hand building. Date nights for anniversaries, birthdays, and just for a fun alternative are becoming very popular! It’s a great way to see if you like making pottery, learn more about taking a class, or just enjoy doing something you never tried before!

Two hours of instruction includes all the materials and supplies, even aprons. So, come as you are and expect to get a little bit muddy. The instructor will give a demonstration and then help each of you to create your own pots on the wheel. We will finish, glaze and fire a few pieces from each of you so you will get back a memento of your lesson in a few weeks. We will introduce you to our studio, do all the set up and clean up, so all you have to do is have fun.

Call us at 415-272-9932 to set up your date and time. We usually offer these Friday and Saturday evenings. Try to book about 2 weeks in advance. -  More Info

Intermediate Wheel Throwing

Intermediate Wheel Throwing for adults is for those who are already comfortable with centering clay on the wheel and making basic forms. In this class we will introduce handles, lids, and modifying wheel thrown forms with additional techniques. I feel you will be challenged but enjoy learning lidded and altered forms as soon as possible. This class still provides an introduction to basic studio knowledge and continued instruction in glazing. This class is usually repeated a few times as students advance. This class includes additional Open Studio hours to practice on your own at no extra charge. $249 for six weeks.
