*STUDENTS MUST HAVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE AND BE 14 YEARS OR OLDER TO PARTICIPATE.*
~please note: a one-day workshop will not qualify you for the skill level in the classes below~
The terms "experienced beginner", "advanced beginner", and "intermediate" are subjective and tend to change with our evolving student body. All of the classes below are for experienced students only. If you are joining us with experience from a different studio we highly recommend working one on one with an instructor before requesting to be in a class. This is to ensure that you are placed in the appropriate class for your skill level when a spot opens up.
There are no online sign ups for these classes, instead we ask that you email us. Requests are first come first serve with priority given to students that were signed up for the previous session. Although we wish we could accommodate everyone, these classes often fill quickly with returning students. If you miss out, reach out to us about private lessons! Please be patient with our slow response time after classes are announced as we let the requests come in before getting back to everyone.

w/ Zach Herrmann & DJ Benyosef
WEDNESDAYS: 6:30-9:30pm:
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
STARTS SEPTEMBER 11th (6 WEEKS)
COST: $690
Let's shake out the summer rust with some teamwork and an introduction into adding stems and feet to your work! The first step to creating stemware is adding a foot so thats where we will start. Everything we make will have a foot whether it be solid, trailed on, or blown. Once everyone is comfortable delivering and applying feet we can take this concept of stacking parts to the next level, opening a world of possibilities.
