Virtual Classes

We are offering weekly virtual classes in hand building, wheel, kids, family, glaze classes & more.

Classes will be conducted using Zoom and we will send you the link once you sign up.  We are also offering ZOOM parties.

The sessions will be led by the Tucson Clay Co-op head teacher Maxine Krasnow.

​You can buy 5, 12 1/2 & 25 pounds of clay on line as well as 20 pounds of recycled clay - we will offer outside pickup. To make an appointment to pick up clay after you have paid on line, text 917 705 3803).


We will not resume classes in the studio until it is safe to open again. In the meantime, this is an opportunity to do creative work at home.  For millions of years, people have hand built and pit fired, and now we can learn from the old ways.

You can prepare by setting up an easy home studio.  You will need a table, a chair, any surface ​which absorbs water (a 12 inch by 12 inch piece of plywood, canvas or fabric, as well as a rolling pin (or dowel) fork and knife. 

We are now renting electric Shimpo potters wheels.

There will be a wheel and hand building lesson every week. Wheel students are invited to have an in person private lesson in our back yard, so I am able to correct any centering mistakes you might be making.

When you pick up your clay, you will also receive a free kit of white, red, and black clay to use for your neriage and melifliore lessons.
