One Time Workshops
These workshops are an introductory experience on the potters wheel. You can expect to get messy, meet new folks and learn some pottery techniques. The wheel has a way of humbling us all, so be ready for a challenge 🙂
General Class Rundown
Teachers will give an opening demonstration. Participants are then given a set of tools, clay, and the go-ahead to start throwing. Classes are 2.5 hours, and you'll have about an 1.5 hours to throw on the wheel. There is a follow up demo halfway through class. Thirty minutes is reserved at the end for clean up.
​
Pots and Pick Up After Class
Participants may keep up to two pots each. Indigo Fire takes one month to trim, fire, apply a glaze (of your choice), and fire the pottery again before pickup. Finished pots are stored for 3 months from the date of the workshop. Forgotten pots are cleared out after this window.​
​
The weekend workshops all follow a similar format, but there are some differences which you can see below. Particularly the Early Bird workshops.​
Sip & Spin
Try out the potters wheel in a lively, social atmosphere. Both studios are active at night, so you'll get to see what other studio potters are making. This is a great event for couples, small groups or anyone looking for something different on a Friday or Saturday evening. Pro tips: save your fancy outfit for after the workshop - you're getting messy! And if you have a long straw, bring it.

FAQ
Can I book out a whole workshop for a party? We ask you please don't. While we can't prevent you from booking all the seats, these workshops are not meant to be private events. If you're interested in a private event, please visit our private event page.
Do I need to call before picking up my finished pots? You do not. As long as it's been one month, your pots are ready. If there's been an issue in the trimming, glazing or firing process, we will reach out to you directly.
Are pots ever lost or broken in the finishing process? We take great care of workshop pots and nearly all make it through the kilns looking beautiful. They go through a detailed tracking process as they get trimmed, bisqued, glazed and fired again. Human mistakes do happen though as well as casualties outside of our control. If a pot is damaged from this process, it will be lovingly repaired. If it is lost or has a significant glaze issue, the maker will be offered credit towards a future workshop.
