Class Format

Students receive personalized attention and can work at their own pace. Our instructors are adept at customizing lessons to best serve the student. Students are working and learning the entire class time, there is no waiting for work time. The two on one format provides the opportunity for students to learn how to assist and help each other. Skills such as making a punty, shielding, and opening doors are introduced. Classes can be scheduled during times that best fit the students schedule, whether that means during the day, evening, or weekends. Additional studio time after your class can be purchased for $70 per hour.

Hot Shop Equipment

Our Hot Shop features a 400 pound Hub furnace, four glory holes of varying sizes, three large kilns, a roll up kiln, a Paragon color box, and three work benches. This studio is available for rental.
