Process Note: A key piece of information for pottery classes is the timeline for finishing the piece. Since items need to dry and be fired in a kiln, students typically return to pick up their glazed work 2-3 weeks later. FAQ Addition: Q: When will my finished pottery piece be ready? A: Your creation will need proper drying and two kiln firings. We will notify you when your glazed masterpiece is ready for pickup, typically within 2-3 weeks of your class.
