How it works

  • You sign up one month at a time. A month is four classes.
  • If you miss a class, you can make it up at the other time of the same class in that month.
  • Pieces dry and are fired twice, so you take finished work home about three weeks after you make it.
  • Each group has at most six people.

Questions

Do I need experience?
No. Both classes start from the basics.
What should I wear?
Clothes that can get dirty. Short nails help on the wheel.
Which language are classes in?
English and Portuguese. Tell us which you prefer when you write.
Can I take my pieces home?
Yes. What you make is yours once it has been fired.

Classes start every month

Write to us and we will tell you which times still have places.
