Our studio
A studio
for starting.
A first bowl can lean a little. A first afternoon can be enough to make you want another.
Look closely.
Make something small.
At Vellumkiln, a class begins with a shape: a rim, a curve, the place a handle meets a cup. Our form library brings old pots into the conversation. Then we put the pictures aside and pick up the clay.
Small groups leave time for questions and another try. We demonstrate each stage, then help you find your own pace. Beginner classes are for adults, and all the tools are here.
You choose a studio glaze before you leave. We take care of finishing and firing, so there is no second class to schedule just to pick up your first piece.
Before you come in

What to wear
Comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting clay on, sleeves that roll up, and shoes for a working studio. We have an apron for you.
Firing & pickup
Allow 3–4 weeks after class. Wait for our ready-for-pickup message, then come during opening hours. Finished work is held for eight weeks after the message. Firing is included in introductory classes; open studio firing is $8 per piece within the listed size limit.
