More Helpful Information.

Studio Location

271 College Street, Palmerston North

The little black shop on the corner of College Street and Lowestoft Place, just down from the College Street and Cook Street roundabout.

Parking is on College street or along Lowestoft Place.

Pick up + Delivery

I prep and fire your pieces for you and the glaze is our food safe house white glaze. 

Your pieces will be ready in a minimum of eight weeks. You'll receive an email as soon as your work is ready to collect.

I can also arrange shipping as required.

Additional Pieces

As you are creating you trim off excess clay that some people use to make additional pieces. This is absolutely fine. If you would like to keep them I am happy to fire and glaze these for you, I just ask you pay for the firings.

Firings are calculated based on weight; for example, a small dish 100mm across would cost about $10 to $12. Payment is made at collection.

Paint Your Own

If you have enough time and would like to paint an additional piece simply let me know and you can pay for it at the end of the class.

Nails + Jewellery

Long nails often mark the clay so you just need to do a little more tidying. There are some tricks to reduce nail marks that I will show you too. 

Clay can get into rings, bracelets and on watches so I recommend removing these to save you cleaning them after your pottery class.

Pottery Care

Your pottery is suitable for microwave and dishwasher use. While it is dishwasher safe, I recommend hand washing to minimise any potential dishwasher damage.
