New to our 6-week classes? Here's what you need to know!

Our 6-week classes are a series of 6 classes that happen over the course of 6-weeks. For example, if you sign-up for a Saturday class, you will have classes every Saturday for 6 consecutive weeks, assuming there are no holidays or breaks (they would be listed). We offer 6 class sessions each year, and you can find them highlighted in the image below. At our 800 Moss St. Location, the weaving classes are on the upper level, with the clay classes in the bottom. All 2D classes are held at 1724 McAlester St. You are welcome to park in the parking lot (unless it recently snowed), or on the side of the street in that area. You can find specific instructors, times, and dates listed above. Please take note that the start date of the class session is not always the start date of your specific class.

For our clay classes, we offer open studio times Mondays & Wednesdays from 10 AM - 1 PM, and Saturdays & Sundays from 11 AM - 4 PM. To retrieve your finished work, you will need to come back to our open studio hours in the following session (but please mind the breaks in which our studio is not open - listed below).
