OUR CLASSES WILL BOWL YOU OVER!
We provide all the tools and equipment you need to get started at our school and clay is available for purchase as well.
All you need to get going is you...and maybe some coffee.
With a large array of hand building tools and a brand spanking new fancy slab roller, you'll have everything you need to create the masterpiece of your dreams. You'll also have individual attention and guidance on class projects, or your own project ideas, from our talented instructors.
