We no longer charge studio fee. All pottery prices include the cost of glazing + firing.
How long does it make to create?
Every artist is different. The more detailed the piece, the longer it may take you. 
Children usually take 30 min - 90 min to complete their project

What if I don't finish?
Not a problem! If you are unable to finish your project, you may take your unfinished pottery home with you and bring it back when you have the time to finish. 
Unfortunately we do not have the space to store unfinished pieces.
