FAQ
What’s the difference between wheel throwing and handbuilding?

Can I bring in an outside piece to fire at your studio?
YES. We currently offer firing only memberships and outside firing services. E-mail info@potstudiola.com to arrange.
What goes into pricing?
We pay all our staff fair living wages, and a lot of labor goes into prepping, processing pieces, and cleaning, on top of teaching. Materials, especially glazes, are expensive as well. Every time you make a piece, it goes in the kiln for 30 hours in two different rounds. We try to keep our prices as accessible as possible with heavy overhead and materials cost in mind. This is why we offer sliding scale to black & brown individuals who cannot afford the full class price, and we now offer an option at checkout for students to donate $5 towards free/sliding scale pricing for students every month.
What is your pandemic related protocol?
As a very small business, we take the pandemic seriously because our staff and community cannot afford to get sick.
