*Trimming, glazing or underglazing cannot be done on pottery pieces that have just been made; please plan on booking another session to complete any trimming or glazing.
*Pre-registration for our clay offerings is a requirement. Showing up without registering through our website does not guarantee you a spot, and means you may be turned away.
*Long nails are not recommended for this activity
