Key Information
We offer handbuilding and wheel classes to students and members of all experience levels. Each class session is 12 weeks, and classes meet once a week for three hours. View the latest class schedule and instructor lineup here.
Tuition for each term is $275 ($250 for HPG members). To be eligible to become an HPG member, you must have taken at least three classes and have paid annual membership dues.
Students must purchase their clay from HPG. The cost of clay ranges between $25 - $68 per 25 lb. bag, which includes the cost of glazes and firing. Please order clay when registering, so the clay will be ready for the first class and limit purchase to one bag for the start of class. No outside clay allowed (Seriously. Please don’t blow up our kiln.)
Students must attend 8 of 12 classes to be eligible for Priority Registration in the following session. Additionally, students with more than four unexcused absences will not be able to count that class towards membership eligibility.
If needed, basic tools and throwing bats can be purchased from us too. Visit our Supplies page to purchase.
In addition to weekly classes, students may use the studio (at no additional charge) during open studio hours, which are generally Monday-Sunday, 9AM - 9PM, when there is no class or workshop in session.
