Next Session of Classes
Past students have priority. Classes usually fill and we work on a first come first serve basis for any open spots. If need be there is also a waiting list and that can often be a way into the class you want. Wait lists do not carry over from session to session so you will need to register for each session. Don't hesitate to contact us to find out if there is space in a class. You can sign up for our mailing list on the top of our homepage or below. Next Session will be May/June 2021. Class price will be $319. There will be a variety of classes being offered that are the same as our regular schedule. Artist in Residence spaces will cost $185/month.
Artist-in-Residence
We have enough space for 8-9 artists-in-residence who rent access for $185/mo. This includes firings, glazes, and shelf space. You by clay from the studio as you need it for $35/25lbs. This is perfect for artists who want to work on their own and already have expertise in working with clay. Currently we have limited openings for artists-in-residence spaces.
Please contact us if you are interested. You will be asked to send images of your work. We can start a waiting list if need be. Sometimes the best way to access the studio is through the classes. You still get access and many use a class to do their independent project.

Payment and Refund Policy
Payment is expected after you register to save your space in class, unless you have made other arrangements with Kirsten. Payment plans can be set up if need be.
If the pandemic closes our in-studio classes we will be automatically switching to teaching remotely. We will not stop working, teaching, or making. Students will need to bring their clay and tools home. In our online format you will get zoom classes and video projects sent to you by email and there will be a drive through set up to collect and fire all the work you make at home.
When you sign up for any class at TCS, you sign up understanding that the pandemic is out of our control and we will not be giving refunds or postponing our classes as we will switch to online learning. We will continue to teach the highest level of ceramics education through our Clay School @Home Studio Program.
Since almost all of our classes run full, if you register for class that means that someone else has been turned away to save your place in class. For this reason we cannot offer refunds if you decide to drop-out of class unless you drop out MORE THAN A WEEK (7 Days) BEFORE THE FIRST CLASS. If you drop out more than a week before class begins we will refund your class minus a $50 registration fee. Otherwise if you are within a week of the first class starting we will be unable to refund you. We will make every effort to accommodate you if you need to switch classes due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts or other such emergencies or events but can not guarantee a spot in another class if they are already full. It is our goal to make you happy and to teach you the joy of working with clay.
We don't prorate classes if you are going away on vacation or just going to miss a few. Please, please feel free to make-up any class you might miss by attending another class being offered during the same session. Due to COVID19 you do need to check with the teacher first to make sure they have room for you in the class you want to attend. Make-up classes may be hard to schedule or impossible depending on the class size. We can also send you a video project from our library in lieu of a make-up class. We do not guarantee a make-up class will be available for you that will work in your schedule but we will try. Make-up classes however do not carry over into the next 8 week session.
We want you to work, have fun, and get the most out of your time at The Clay School.
