Gift Certificates

Any class, private lessons, or studio access option can be given as a gift. A basic tool kit, if needed, is included free with any Gift Certificate. All classes include 25 lbs of clay and studio access during all open hours. Many people chose to wrap the certificate with the clay bag and tools to have a more substantial gift.
Independent study students must have an approved amount of experience. Because of the vagaries of drying clay and the many steps involved in producing finished work, most private lessons must be for at least 5 one and a half to two hour classes. Exceptions are; one time experience clay lessons, with no finished pots, parties team building or dates, focused single problem classes for those with some experience.
