• Clay Lessons for Private Parties

How It Works:
- You provide the workspace, and I will bring all necessary clay and studio supplies.
- I will arrive 30 minutes before the event to set up.
- I will provide everything needed for the session, including clay, tools, buckets, glazes, small towels, aprons, and a waterproof tablecloth.
- I will demonstrate the process of hand-building a pot.
- Each participant will create their own pot and select a glaze color from the samples provided.
- After the event, I will take care of the cleanup, load the pots into my car, and transport them to my home studio.
- I will glaze and fire the pots and deliver them to you within 3-4 weeks.

The Process: Once the pots have dried, I will bisque fire them, a process that takes about 8-10 hours for firing and about 8 hours for cooling. After the bisque firing, I will carefully unload the kiln, rinse the pots, and allow them to rest for 24 hours before glazing. After glazing, the pots will undergo a final glaze firing, which takes approximately 10-12 hours. Once the kiln has cooled, I will unload the pots, prepare them for delivery, and notify you that they are ready. The entire process typically takes 3-4 weeks.
