Once you know the class you need, head to our Class Schedule to see upcoming dates or click through to the relevant Core Class to book your spot. Before You Book Working with clay is wonderfully creative, but it can also be unpredictable during the drying and firing stages. Pieces can sometimes develop issues such as cracks, breakages, warping, or parts becoming detached. Occasionally, items may collapse as they dry or, very rarely, explode in the kiln if air pockets are present. These risks are a normal part of working with clay, and following the instructor’s guidance will greatly reduce the chances of problems occurring. Due of this, we can’t guarantee every piece will survive fully intact. If something does happen to your piece, we do our best to repair it, but are unable to offer compensation unless it's due to an error on our part.
