Questions
How does the Wheel Taster work?
It's one 3-hour wheel class for $79 + HST: clay, tools and an apron are included and an instructor works beside you. You'll make a few pieces, and only your favourite one is trimmed and glazed by our staff (both firings included). If you love it, you get 20% off any wheel package for 7 days after your class, and you trim and glaze your taster piece yourself. Coming with friends? Choose how many people at checkout, up to 4, and everyone gets their own booking code.
What happens after my taster?
About an hour after your class we email you a personal link for 20% off any wheel package, open for 7 days. If you continue, you trim and glaze your taster piece yourself in your next class. If not, our staff finish your favourite piece and it's ready to collect in about 3 to 4 weeks.
I've never touched clay. Is that okay?
Yes. These classes are built for complete beginners. The instructor starts from zero and works with each student individually, and groups are capped at 5 or 6 so nobody gets left behind.
What if something comes up?
Reschedule or cancel any session up to 48 hours before it starts at no charge, and the class goes back on your package to rebook.
What should I wear?
Clothes you don't mind getting a little clay on, and closed shoes. Aprons are provided.
