Outdoor Clay

This 2hr private lesson is for 2. Looking forward to seeing you in the studio. Come Seize the Clay.

Private Lesson for Two

Taking the clay outside. In the our new COVID reality, we are taking clay either to the curb or outside in the back yard. Learn a new skill and take a "Claycation" with us! We begin with introductions and basic wheel demonstration by one of our instructors: Candace, Jasmine, Jason, Leslie, Sasi, Steve or Tony. You will learn the basic steps of throwing a cylinder on the potter's wheel, then each participant gets up to four 1-pound balls of clay to try their hand at the potter's wheel. You can keep your new works of art, just choose a glaze color and we will dry and trim your work, fire it, glaze it and re-fire it. When it's ready, Steve will notify you it is ready for pick-up. 

*Please arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time. When we get started the doors will be locked and the activity will be moved outdoors to the back yard. If you arrive late, we won't know that you are at the door.

For COVID health reasons, classes are limited to 5 participants, conducted outdoors weather permitting, and we ask that you wear a face covering, bring your own towel, an apron if desired, and wear clothing appropriate for outdoor weather conditions and that you don't mind getting dirty.

Please double check the date and time selection in the Reservation Details section to assure you have the right date and time.

What to bring

Remember to: bring a face covering, towel, apron, wear clothes and shoes you don't mind getting dirty and appropriate for outdoor weather conditions, clip your fingernails for the best experience, bring your creative spirit and get ready to play-in-clay!

Participants are expected to sign a Covid-19 waiver, wash their hands upon arrival and regularly as needed during class, after class and before touching community equipment, maintain 6' physical distancing when possible, wear face coverings, clean-up their work areas the last 15 minutes of the event unless a $10 service fee has been paid in advance.

Alexander Lesson 4 pack special

Hi I’m Sara I teach The Alexander Technique.  Do you suffer from a million aches and pains and you don’t know exactly where they come from?  Is your posture bad? Do you find yourself slouching and leaning on things? Do you feel tired after a workout instead of invigorated?  Have you ever heard a baby cry and thought how does someone that small make that much noise? Are you concerned about the impact stress is having on your health? It’s worse than you think and easier to fix than you think at the same time.  Alexander Technique is a way of learning how to re-orient your movement so it’s freeing rather that static. Organized rather than rigid.  Curious rather than judging. 

It’s a teaching technique because you learn to teach yourself.  This technique can be learned in person with hand on methodology but just as much can be done on zoom via self study. 

Use Movement To Get Out Of Stress

Beginner's Jewelry Fabrication

This class is for everyone from absolute beginners, to advanced fabricators who want to add a new option for making reproductions, or unique, organic and sculptural jewelry!

Beginner's Lost Wax Casting

This class is for those with some skill in jewelry fabrication who want to extend their knowledge and skills in metalsmithing, soldering and fabrication techniques. Usually for those who have taken our beginner class, but some student with existing background in jewelry making can skip the beginner class.

In this class, we will take beginners through the process of learning the use of jeweler's hand tools, soldering, and ring making techniques.

This is a group class with up to 8 other students. In this class students begin learning the use of the jeweler's saw and file, and move on to creating a soldered project, combining multiple pieces of brass and/or copper to form a project of their design! In the second half of the course, students learn to make a silver ring, with a cabochon stone set on top.
