Private Lesson $ 120
This private lesson is 2 hours long, designed to help you learn wheel throwing or hand-building. At the end of the lesson, you will have your own finished project. You can come back one more time to glaze your piece, or we can glaze it for you. When the piece is ready, we will contact you to let you know to pick up your piece.
Once you create your beautiful pieces, we will expertly glaze them for you, and they will be ready for pickup in approximately 4 to 6 weeks.
