Looking for a creative outlet that feels relaxing, hands-on, and totally mess-free at home?

These private clay lessons are like Claytime for Beginners! Designed for those who want to explore handbuilding without needing their own studio, tools, or storage space. You simply show up once a week, sink into the rhythm of working with clay, and leave the clean-up to the studio.

Over the course of 4 weeks, you’ll learn the foundations of handbuilding through approachable techniques like slab work, molds, and pinch-pot construction. Together we’ll create pieces such as platters, bowls, mugs, or small sculptural works—perfect for personal enjoyment or meaningful handmade gifts.

What You’ll Learn & Create

By the end of our 4 weeks together, you will have:

• Built a strong understanding of the early stages of working with greenware clay—how to shape it, refine it, and support it through the drying process so your piece is successful in the kiln.

• Gained a clear overview of the ceramic firing journey, including what happens during the bisque and glaze stages.

• Created 3–5 finished pieces that reflect your growing skill, creative curiosity, and personal style.

What’s Included

• All materials, tools, and firings

• Weekly 2HR guided lessons focused on creating, learning, and enjoying the process

• A simplified glazing overview where you’ll choose your colors—your instructor will finish the glazing for you so you don’t have to worry about the technical steps

Please note: This series focuses primarily on greenware skills and the early stages of the clay process. We won’t be spending extensive time on glazing or specialized decorative techniques, but you will leave with beautiful, finished work.
