Clay handbuilding workshops and appointments

Since 2009 firings are scheduled transparently — greenware initials required on every piece. Glaze tests are shared on a board so you learn from communal results.

Paper tickets at 31 11 Avenue SW (the studio) list your name and promised timing — we avoid app-only queues for clay modeling visits.

Workshops include tool kits, aprons, and firing for one piece; extra pieces pay kiln shelf fees posted at the desk Reach us at [email protected].

Children under fourteen may not attend sessions with sharp tool tables unless a family day is marked on the calendar.

Dust control follows wet sponging and vacuum protocols — we explain why sandpaper stages happen outdoors on the small yard when weather allows.

Retail shows instructor work and advanced student pieces — prices on tags, no haggling at openings.

Evening classes fill quickly in autumn; email holds a seat with deposit once dates are confirmed.

We list ventilation and clothing advice before your first messy session.

Guests booking clay modeling work through granddock get plain intake steps using honest lead times rather than same-day promises when the bench is full. Reference the clay modeling page name if emailing a follow-up

Most appointment pacing start with a short written brief at Granddock with clear tickets so handoffs stay consistent. No app-only queues for this bench.

Written care notes follow every clay modeling handoff here and are answered in plain English during Wed–Sun 11:00–19:00. We keep clay modeling notes separate from unrelated service tracks.
