You are booking at MudFire Studio and Gallery in DECATUR, GA - 175 Laredo Drive Decatur GA 30030 - 404-377-8033
Please note that each class we offer is a little different - some classes are 1 hour long and some are 2 hours long, please refer to the class listing you are booking. Most classes include a studio/gallery tour, a demo, and hands-on instruction. You will make about 2 pots each with an instructor and you will have a great time! You will get to select your own glaze colors from our stellar selection of house made glazes (they're amazing!) An important fact about pottery to consider, something every potter understands, is to not count your chickens until they've hatched. Meaning, you're taking a class, learning how to make pottery - which is a medium with a lot of loss. We do our best to shepherd your pieces through both firings - but ceramics is prone to breakage and we do not guarantee that every piece made will survive the firings. The product you're purchasing is the class, not your fired, finished pieces (they are a bonus!).
PLEASE NOTE - WE ARE CASHLESS. We accept all major credit and debit cards, Google and ApplePay, Venmo and PayPal.
PLEASE consider tipping your instructor - not only are they working to help you have a great experience during the class, but they are also finishing your pieces for you. Over the next 4 to 6 weeks they'll be babysitting your pieces while they dry, trimming them, firing them, glazing them and then packing them up for you! We love tippers!!
You may bring a beverage with you but please no glass bottles - your hands will be slippery and muddy and you'll be busy during the class. Plus eating/drinking doesn't mix with claywork, but if you need to stay hydrated please bring a bottle that has a closed top - no cans, no glass!
