Rosa Pottery is primarily an adults only studio. Humans who are 16+ are welcome in one-time classes. Only those 18+ are allowed in all other classes/memberships.

We do not offer drop-in options at this time.

Rosa Pottery is not able to offer firing to the public. Sometimes Sunset Canyon Pottery (sunsetcanyonpottery.com) and Feats of Clay (https://featsofclaypottery.com/) offer public firing services. You can also search kilnshare.com for kiln access near you.

8-week registration happens in stages. Current students get first dibs to resign-up for their current class. Returning students not registered for the current session get second dibs. Early notification list gets third dibs. Whatever spots are left are posted online and are first-come, first served. Join our subscribed list to get notified about classes early- https://mailchi.mp/rosapottery/rosa-pottery-notification-list-sign-up. There is no “waitlist.”

Studio access is restricted to students and members. We do not rent out our equipment or take reservations for specific machines.

This varies greatly from session to session. See how registration works for details.

Pottery making is very messy! Wear something comfortable that you are ok with getting dirt on. Closed toed shoes are preferred. Shoes must remain on while at the studio. Long hair should be tied back and jewelry should be removed before throwing. Our studio clay is white, doesn’t stain, and will wash off. We do not provide aprons, you must bring your own if you want one.

All clay and glazes provided by the studio are food safe.

All clay and glazes provided by the studio are microwave and dishwasher safe. Handwashing is recommended, though not required, for fragile pieces.

There are no makeups of missed one-time classes or workshops.

Students in 8-week classes will be allowed to makeup up to 2 classes per session, by 1) letting the studio know via email before your missed class begins that you’re going to be absent and 2) coming in for an extra open studio session at your convenience. Missed instruction cannot be made up, but this allows students to at least get their time in the studio.

The studio will provide everything you need for one-time classes. It is highly recommended that 8-week students and studio members bring their own tools, as there are limited tools available for their use.

Clay and firing fees are included for all one-time, workshop, and 8-week students. Studio members have to option to bring and pay by the bag for firing or pay a higher membership to have studio clay/firing included.
