We provide after school/youth programs and seasonal school-break classes which run five days a session with each class lasting 2 1/2 hours. Cost of the sessions include personalized instruction, 12.5 pounds of clay, underglaze, and firing. These sessions are for handbuilding with clay; a more versatile process that can be continued at home with very limited supplies.
