Extra firing fees from your workshop

Open Studio time for enrolled students and members only.

Students enrolled in a weekly class are welcome to use the studio freely, working on ongoing projects or starting new ones. Enrolled students are entitled to two free open studio time slots per session to complete projects or make up missed classes. Additional open studio time is offered to students at $40 per session.  Although many pottery studios offer "open studio time", most studios also charge for clay, tools, and firing fees.  Since Slip Studio class fees include clay, all tools, underlazes, and firing fees, 

Members are welcome to drop off greenware any time during business hours. Members need to book open studio times for glazing bisqueware using our studio supplies, tools, wax, and underglazes, as well as house-made glazes and a selection of commercial glazes.

Available weekly Open Studio time:

Ariella will guide you and your guests on a creative journey as you learn techniques in handbuilding with clay.  From slab-building mugs to pinch-pot sake cups, carving clay or painting glaze, there is something for everyone to explore. And don’t worry, Ariella will guide you through the process, one step at a time, teaching you tricks and techniques in working with clay. Unleash your inner creative spirit and come into the studio for a wonderful pottery experience.

Choose from one of the three experiences for both kids & teens:

Projects for kids ages 8+

All tools, materials, and firing will be included in your class.  All you need to bring is yourself and some positive creative energy.  Ariella will slowly dry your pieces, getting them ready for the first bisque firing, then she will glaze your pieces in studio-made glazes and fire them once again so that they are food-safe, sturdy, and beautiful!

Your pottery will be available to pick up 4-6 weeks after your class, during regular business hours (Monday-Friday from 10 am-6 pm). If you would like us to ship your vessels, please note that there is an additional shipping cost.

Availability for private parties is limited, so make sure to secure your preferred date and time in advance. Private events must be booked at least 4 weeks in advance; please reach out via email for any last-minute cancellations or openings less than 4 weeks before the event date.

You are more than welcome to bring in your own food and drinks. If you would like Ariella to cater your food & bev, please refer to the menu option add-ons below.

Terms & Conditions

Party bookings will take place once the party is paid in full and the date and time are confirmed.  Cancellations of private events 7 days prior will result in a 50% refund.  There are NO refunds possible for events cancelled within 7 days.  

Our studio is small, and space is limited to a maximum of 12 guests (unless otherwise specified).

Parking is free and plentiful. Bathrooms are clean and across the hall. Please come dressed and ready to get your hands and maybe even your clothes a little dirty.

Please arrive on time so that we can start the project with enough time for completion. If guests arrive more than 30 minutes after the start time, they may be unable to finish their project. Ariella will do her best to accommodate for lateness and skill level, repairing work when she can to ensure the highest likelihood of survival through the kiln process; however, there are no guarantees in ceramics.

A Note on the Magic of Ceramics

• PLEASE NOTE: There are no guarantees in pottery! While working in clay is meditative and gratifying, it is also beautifully unpredictable. Clay moves, shifts, and sometimes cracks as it dries or during the firing process—even for the most experienced potters. This is the "magic" of ceramics: learning to let go, accepting that we aren't always in control, and finding beauty in the process.
• We invite you to enjoy the experience as the most important part of your visit; the final product is simply the icing on the cake!
