You’ll find a list of our planned, upcoming workshops below. Here are a few things you should know if you would like to attend:
- To ensure all participants have ample access to the instructor and materials, we limit each workshop to a small group. Please reserve your spot as soon as possible.
- We partner with a variety of host organizations, and they manage reservations and accept payments on our behalf. Please refer to the sign-up instructions listed for each event (note: each event may have a different registrar).
- All persons present at the workshop must sign an acknowledgment regarding safety procedures and a liability waiver prior to admission. If you have safety questions or would like an advance copy of the waiver, please contact us directly.
- Our event hosts usually don’t have the specialized kilns required to fire participants’ completed artwork on-site. At the end of the workshop, we carefully pack participants’ artwork and transport it to our studio for firing. Participants can collect their works from the host location (or by other mutually convenient arrangements) after a few business days.
- At this time, we require all participants to be age eighteen (18) or older to participate, but we are looking into expanding our audience soon.
