Class Experience
Great for teens, couples, and friends.
You’ll get step-by-step instructions. Each person can make up to 2 pieces. Includes the 2-hour lesson, use of studio tools and clay, choice of 15 glaze colors, and firing for your pieces.
Each student gets their own wheel. The instructor will help you center your clay. Items are fired, finished, and ready for pickup within 3-4 weeks.
**You can create up to five pieces and keep your best two. If you’d like to keep more than two pieces, it will be $5 per additional piece. We will dip your pieces in a glaze color of your choice. If you'd prefer to come back and customize your pieces yourself, it’s $15 for two hours of Open Studio time. To schedule your Open Studio session, please email us at create@theartbeat.net.

It was fun and low pressure
Improvements:
The communication about when the fired pottery would be ready was inconsistent. I had to call multiple times to check on the pieces and have still not gotten word that they are ready over a month later. I was told they would be ready the week following the class.

Thank you for the kind review! We're so glad you had fun. We’re sorry for the miscommunication—pottery can take 4–6 weeks to be ready depending on drying time and glazing (dip-glazed or return-to-glaze). Rushing the process can damage pieces. We appreciate your patience and will follow up soon with an update!

Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the class and found it fun and relaxing. We understand parking can be a bit tricky, but there is a free parking garage about a block down the road. We hope that helps for next time! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
