Please allow about three weeks for us to glaze and fire your work. We'll email you the moment it is ready to pick up. Pickup hours at our Oak Park studio are Monday – Saturday, 11:00a – 5:00p, and Sunday, 12:00p – 6:00p. We save finished pieces for three months after your class. Work left longer than three months may be discarded.
Yes — one-time participants choose from 10 different glaze colors.
Yes. All pots are fired twice to a vitreous state, making them food-, dishwasher-, and microwave-safe.
Although clay is water soluble and rarely stains, aprons are provided and encouraged. For your own safety, you may be asked to remove clothing or jewelry that hangs or drapes, and to tie back long hair.
