PLEASE NOTE

2021 Lesson Session  Feb 6th thru Oct 30th

​

Due to the confined studio space and the nature of relatively close contact during a wheel lesson, availability is currently greatly reduced, at the moment.

In order to maintain the safest environment, no group lessons at this time.

​

Priority booking at this moment is only available to pre purchased lessons.

Use the online scheduling link from your purchase or contact studio

​

No new lessons available, thank you for your patience.

Hopefully as the Covid situation stabilizes, I will open up for new bookings.

The Firehouse is a unique and intimate studio, where you can relax and enjoy the experience of the potters wheel for the first time, with expert instruction, with a friend, family member or partner.

The craft of the pottery wheel in general is very difficult and can be a little intimating to try for the first time.

I have been teaching the wheel for over 30 years and have found that my private lessons allow for a greater experience. With my one on one instruction, you will succeed first time, creating a simple form and hopefully encouraging you to come back and grow your skills or at least continue to experience the pottery wheel's meditative and therapeutic energy.

​

No age limit, but call for more details if age is under 8. The pottery wheel does require a certain amount of physical strength, patience, and instructional focus.The tactile experience is great for younger kids but does require much more hands on help.

 

Your introductory, pottery lesson experience is a 2 part process.

1.  An hour of private instruction allows you to create 2 pieces on the pottery wheel.

2. Those pieces must be dried and bisque fired through the kiln one time. Approx 2 weeks after your wheel lesson you will schedule to come in and creatively glaze your pieces,

also about a 1 hour lesson.

Followed by a second kiln firing, your finished pieces will be ready to pick up in about a week.

 

6 Lesson Package

A 6 lesson package provides a discounted rate and allows you an introductory lesson

and then the opportunity to advance your creative skills.

​

Continuing after 6 lessons

Flexible rates for continuing beyond 6 lessons are available per student depending on skill 

level and your own individual goals.
