Workshops and Demos

Workshops and demos are publicized as visiting artists are confirmed, usually several months in advance of the actual workshop dates. You can find the latest workshop and demo information on our website HERE.
Exact dates for registration are announced on our website and through our Events Newsletter — sign up HERE. (We send a couple of Events Newsletters a month — we promise we won’t bombard you!)

After you register for a workshop, we’ll share specific details about personal tools and any other items or materials you should bring. The Potters’ Studio provides access to all Studio tools and equipment you’ll need over the weekend, such as banding wheels, bats, or foam.
All workshops include clay for the workshop weekend and any glazes, underglazes, and other materials integral to the workshop curriculum. Should you want additional clay, you can purchase it at the Studio.
Most of our workshops include bisque firing of work completed over the workshop weekend. The Potters’ Studio will dry your finished greenware and bisque it within a month of the workshop.
On occasion, workshop curricula are fully focused on technical skills and/or creative exploration and/or very large pieces that need more than a single weekend to finish, making it impractical to bisque workshop pieces. We encourage participants in these workshops to take their in-progress work and leftover workshop clay home!
Unfortunately we are unable to ship fired workshop bisqueware to participants. You are welcome to make arrangements for someone else to pick up workshop pieces for you.

All notices of workshop cancellation incur a $25 processing fee and must be received via email (events@thepottersstudio .org) by 5pm TWO full weeks prior to the scheduled first day. We do not provide refunds for cancellation requests received after this deadline.
- For Example: Workshops starting on a Friday, written notice of cancellation must be received by 5pm Thursday, TWO weeks prior.
- For workshops starting on a Saturday, written notice of cancellation must be received by 5pm Friday, TWO weeks prior.
The Potters’ Studio does not offer partial refunds.
We communicate with you via the email address you provide when registering. We recommend adding events@thepottersstudio.org to your address book.

If The Potters’ Studio must cancel a workshop or demo for any reason, students will be notified as soon as possible and The Potters’ Studio will provide a full refund.

We maintain a running waitlist for all workshops and demos that sell out — everyone asking to sign up is automatically added to the waitlist once a workshop or demo is full. If spaces open up, we will contact people on the waitlist in the order they emailed asking to join a workshop or demo.

The Potters’ Studio is not responsible for missed workshops and demos and is unable to offer reimbursements, credit, or make-up workshops or demos due to illness or other events beyond our control.
