Once your pieces are fired and glazed, they’ll be ready for pickup at the studio. Firing usually takes about 3–4 weeks. We’ll make a post on our website (you'll find it under the "Finished Pieces" tab!) and on Instagram letting folks know what dates are available for pick-up. If you made something on 1/10/2025, you'll want to look for the post that says pieces made on that date are done.
Ceramics take time to dry, fire, and glaze safely. Our typical turnaround is about 3–4 weeks from the date of your visit. Timing can vary a bit based on how full the kiln is and the overall studio schedule, so it may be a little faster or slower. Be sure to check our Finished Pieces tab as well as our Instagram for updates!
We offer a variety of workshops for both beginners and experienced ceramic artists. Our selections change monthly, so be sure to keep an eye out for new workshops! The schedule for the upcoming month is released on the 15th of each month. Check our current schedule for upcoming workshops, dates, and availability.
