Feeling Curious about our Studio?

Clay Curious is a great way to get a feel for our studio, learn how to throw on the wheel, and have a good time!

What to expect? Our instructor begins with a full demo of throwing on the wheel; then students will follow along each step for the second run through. Wear clothes that can get dusty! 

Perk: Your $65 ticket can be FULLY applied to your first month’s membership at either studio location! 

If you do decide to join, you can continue finishing your projects in your next session, otherwise all pieces will be recycled.

*Please note, our studio is 18+
