Kiln Rentals
We will be offering whole kiln rentals for people who do not wish to create work in the studio at this time.
If you wish to use clay or glaze not available from the studio, both must be approved by the studio manager prior to firing. We ask that you bring receipts or recipes for review and approval. We reserve the right to deny firing if we deem it a risk to the equipment.
Please contact Adam at [email protected] to arrange the time-frame for your kiln rental.
Firing Fees
Small Kiln
Bisque Firing Cone 05 - $35
Glaze Firing Cone 06 - $45
Large Kiln
Bisque Firing Cone 05 - $45

Private Lessons

Private Studio Lessons will consist of one-on-one instruction with one of The Smithy’s instructors,
with the option to have up to 3 people in the lesson. These lessons will be available to schedule on Tuesdays and Thursdays, upon request.
We ask that when scheduling the lesson,
you provide us with an idea of what you would like to accomplish in the time-frame so that we can match you with an appropriate instructor.
To inquire about a private lesson, email Adam at [email protected]
Bags of clay are still available for purchase at $35/bag!
Glazing and firing fees are included in this price.
