Join us for a fun, hands-on introduction to clay!

These short workshops are all about trying something new and enjoying the process — the focus is on the experience rather than the finished product.

🟠 During this workshop, you’ll:

  • Get a quick studio orientation and clay demo from one of our instructors (about 30 minutes)

  • Try out the techniques and make your own clay piece

  • Wrap up with 15 minutes of clean-up at the end

🟠 For each option below, your registration includes:

  • Bisque and glaze firing of one piece, max 5” in size

  • Glazing by our staff in one color of your choice from the RCC glaze selection

  • Finished work available for pick-up 3–6 weeks later (we’ll notify you when it’s ready)

🟠 Things to bring:

  • Bring an apron. Tools & clay provided.

  • 21+ only, BYOB if desired

Please note: Clay is a natural material and sometimes cracks or breaks in the kiln. If your piece doesn’t survive firing, we’ll replace it with a similar item made by an instructor in your chosen glaze.
