When should I pick up my mug?
Most work will be ready for pick up two weeks later. We’ll dry and fire your artwork in our kiln for you to take home approximately 14 days later and we will send you an email as soon as your mug has been fired and is ready to drink in!
Please note:
Kiln clay explosions are unlikely but they do happen. In the event of your art being damaged due to a kiln explosion, we are happy to provide emotional support and offer you a chance to come in and remake your clay art piece. Students are reminded to sign their work. Otherwise, we cannot promise your work won’t be mixed up with someone else’s.

Almost everybody suffers from dryness of skin after working with clay. Creams and lotions after working are recommended. Also wash your hands thoroughly when you are done.
