The woman is wearing an apron with colorful writing and drawings, and the girl is wearing a blue shirt and overalls.

PRIVATE LESSONS

Private lessons are available for youths, teens and adults looking to try wheel throwing or handbuilding for the first time, or to expand their existing knowledge of a technique. 

Cost is $150 for a ninety minute session and includes materials, instruction, glazing, and firing. We can accommodate one, two, or three people for a private lesson.

Private lessons are available by appointment, and require a week of lead time. Please email us to learn more!

GROUP BOOKINGS

Let your next birthday, celebration, or work retreat be a creative endeavor! You can try your hand at wheel throwing, or create your own handbuilt pieces - popular projects include vases, plant pots, lidded jars, and candle luminaries!

We can accommodate groups of 4 to 10 people for 90 minutes of creativity and connection. The cost is $55 per person, which includes all materials, instruction, glazing, and firing your finished pieces. Private parties are available for people of all ages and no experience is necessary!

OUR CLAY BODIES

  • Close-up of a round, textured, beige-colored biscuit with a fluted edge and a spiral pattern on top.

    240 WHITE STONEWARE

  • Close-up of a spiral-shaped cookie with black and white sprinkles.

    112 SPECKLED BROWN

  • A close-up of a round, scalloped-edge, cinnamon-colored, sugar-coated baked good, possibly a sweet pastry or cookie, with a textured surface.

    308 BROOKLYN RED

Fall Kill stocks three clay bodies: Standard 240 white stoneware, Standard 112 speckled brown, and Standard 308 Brooklyn red. The white stoneware is our smoothest clay, well suited to throwing on the wheel. Speckled brown is great for both handbuilding and throwing, and Brooklyn red contains the most grog, so it is our best handbuilding clay.

Fresh clay is $16 for a 25-pound bag; reclaimed clay is $5 for a 10-pound bag, subject to availability.

Firing fees are $0.06 per cubic inch, typically averaging between $3 to $5 for objects of mug size.

VOLUNTEER

We are always looking to add volunteers to our team of Open Studio Assistants. Open Studio Assistants are clay enthusiasts who volunteer once a week for a four hour shift. In exchange you receive a shelf, unlimited access to Open Studio, and two free classes annually. For more information please email Eric.
