so…
you have
a few
questions
-
We offer both one-time and multi-week wheel throwing and hand-building classes, as well as specialty workshops and date-night classes.
Check out the class offerings on our home page to see what is available!
-
We have some community tools in the studio, but for multi-week classes we ask that you bring your own tools with you. You will have a shelf assigned to you where you can store them between classes, or you can take them home each week. For our one-time and date-night classes, all tools are provided.
-
Pottery is messy! Plan to wear clothing you wouldn’t mind getting a little clay or glaze on. Clay and glaze do was off in the wash, though :)
We also provide aprons for all of our students!
-
With the purchase of a class session, you are signing up to be at all sessions. If you will need to miss a session, please try and let the instructor know as soon as possible. We will do our best to offer you a chance to “make up” the time you missed, but it is not guaranteed with purchase and is subject to space available in other classes running.
-
For our multi-week class, the class purchase comes with access to 25lbs of clay per student. If you need more clay than that, you may purchase it through the studio. For our continuing students, you are allowed to “roll-over” clay from your last session to use in addition to the 25lbs allotted to you, so long as you book concurrent classes (ie. a september-october class and then a november-december class).
-
For the safety of the space and of everyone’s pieces, you may only use clay provided by the studio.
Commercial underglazes that are safe to fire to Cone 6 may be brought in, but require written approval by the studio beforehand.
-
Ceramics is a wonderful art form, but one that comes with a lot of uncertainty. While our staff are highly trained and do their best to make sure every pot makes it safely through firing, sometimes accidents happen or others’ pieces can end up damaging your own.
In the event that your piece is damaged in the kiln, we are happy to give you an equivalent amount of extra clay to work with—on us, in your current or next class session.
-
Yes, we do!!
We offer two different types of private events: in studio, or at yours.
In studio events can hold groups of up to 10 people for hand-building, and 8 people for wheel-throwing.
At home events don’t have a cap on participants, but we charge a per-participant fee starting at $50 depending on the activity.
Please reach out to us if you’re interested in booking a private event!
-
We are located at 562 Tremont Street in Boston, Massachusetts, in the “lobby level” unit—go up the brownstone steps and through the big purple doors, and we are on your left!
We have no parking on site, but there is metered parking on Tremont Street and Clarendon Street (free on Sundays).
We are a ten minute walk from Back Bay Station—we suggest you use the commuter rail or Orange Line to get to us!

Kiln Fire is a software that we use to keep track of our inventory and scheduling. If you see kiln fire in the link to book a class or purchase a gift card, it’s not another studio—it’s just our software! It helps us keep your information safe and secure and our operations tidy
