Sat & Sun 11am - 4pm

As much as I would love to fire the converted kilns in our small parking lot I don’t want the neighbors to be too alarmed by the crazy potters. We will fire the kilns at one of our instructor's home studio, about 10 mins from the studio. The address will be emailed to attendees. The making, glazing and initial instruction will happen at Delores Pottery. Glazes will be provided at Delores Pottery.

Disclaimer:

We aim to fire Pots that you may bring home and use. Despite our best efforts sometimes not all the pottery pieces make it through both kiln firings. This is rare but in the case a piece does not come out in tact please remember this is part of the pottery process and this does not mean guests are entitled to a makeup class or to a refund. This class is all about the experience.
