2- Hour Pottery Workshop and Studio Tour in Ojai
Overview
Ojai has a 100-year history of ceramics. Our studio, located a mile from the city center, is surrounded by nature, in the midst of a fruit orchard.
We are a working studio for many of the great artists in the Ojai Valley. Visitors may watch potters work, and may "try their hand" at a range of techniques. After making their pottery, they may may pay a small fee for our staff to trim, glaze and high-fire the work. This "finishing" work takes about 3 weeks. Visitors may also come back to glaze their OWN work. There is no charge for this. AND we will even ship your pieces anywhere in the country...
What's Included
- Play with Clay at a Pottery Studio
- All the clay and equipment are provided
- Small fee ($15 per piece) for each piece you select to be trimmed, bisqued, glazed & fired.

What To Expect
We will first do a tour of the studio and gallery, looking at kinds of pottery, visiting the kilns and learning about the process. We do a quick "demo" of pottery throwing. Then visitors don aprons, sit down at their wheels, and (with lots of hands-on help) begin making pots! Everyone should be able to make 4 or 5 pieces.
For safety purposes, all of our workshops are now PRIVATE for each group. Your group may be one person or 8, but you will not share the classroom with any other students.
