Get cozy with us with a cup of cocoa, coffee, or tea, then learn how to create bell-style ceramic ornaments that can be so much more than bells!
In this workshop you’ll learn how to shape up to 5 “bells” and make them into all types of fun and whimsical creations. Cats, trees, birds, acorns, etc, the method is simple yet limitless! Use attachments, stamps or carving tools to create patterns and textures, or let the glaze do the talking.
Choose from vibrant glossy colors and speckled glazes for a painterly look, or use our single-fire potter’s glazes for a simple yet classy finish (great for more modern and earthy styles).
Each ornament will have a special fire-friendly metal hook attached after you create it, or you’ll add a small hole to hang a bead or charm through later. Once fired, we’ll add a ribbon or jute string to make hanging easy and stylish. Spruce up your ornaments by adding your own beads or other adornments to make them extra special.
This family-friendly workshop can be as complicated or simple as you like, making it perfect for all ages and abilities. Cookie cutter ornaments are also available for a super easy building option (ideal for tiny hands).

Take your carving skills to the next level in this fun class exploring Sgraffito, Mishima, and Relief carving techniques.
Sgraffito: Layer engobes and underglazes onto the surface of leather hard clay, then carve or scratch your design.
Mishima: Explore using various types of resist to protect areas before carving, then how to inlay engobes and underglazes to add color to exposed clay.
Relief: Learn carving and wipe away methods for removing clay to create raised surfaces that make your designs pop!
In this workshop we’ll briefly discuss each technique, then demonstrate how to plan works that involve one, two, or all three methods. We’ll talk about how to plan your designs, how to incorporate underglaze transfers (optional), and the best tools for the job. The goal of this class is not to achieve a “perfect” piece, but to understand the methods and identify when and how they can work for you. Bring your willingness to experiment and make mistakes!
Students will first practice on scrap clay, then choose from available pre-made leather hard pieces to create a cohesive piece. Students are welcome to bring their own pre-made leather hard pieces to work on as well.
Some experience with ceramics is recommended for this class.
Discounted Shipping available.

Perfect for anyone who prefers individual instruction! These one-on-one sessions are great for beginners or those with minimal experience that want to take the next step.
Note: To complete the full cycle of throwing pots on the wheel, plan for at least 3 separate private lessons to include:
Throwing your “rough draft” pots on the wheel. This lesson includes learning how to center, open, and pull up your pot. You can stop here if the experience with wet clay is all you want to try, or just to see if it’s for you. If that’s the case, your instructor will trim up your pots (up to 2/person) for you and you can select a glaze that they will apply for you prior to firing. Your pots will be ready within 3-4 weeks after firing.
The second step in pottery is trimming. This session requires that your pot is leather hard (dry enough to handle), and is best to schedule between 24 hours-to- 2 weeks of your first session. If you want to stop here, you can choose a glaze and your instructor will glaze up to 2 pots for you. Your pots will be ready within 3-4 weeks after firing.
The final step of pottery is glazing. This can happen before or after you bisque fire your pot, depending on the finish you want. We have lots of glazes to choose from. Glazing is different from “painting” and involves learning how to effectively apply glaze and layer for different effects. It is easily a full single private lesson and super important to learn if you’re considering pottery as a continuous hobby.
Students who complete all 3 private lessons have successfully completed a full intro to pottery and will be able to navigate the studio’s wheel area and glazing shelves on their own if they want to continue practicing pottery with a punch card. Punch cards are $120/10 hours of studio time.
No additional glazing or kiln fees. Glazes and firing are always included in our classes and private lessons.
Reservation times vary depending on instructor availability. Please list the time you prefer on the form and we’ll follow up to either confirm or suggest alternate available times.
