All of our Short Courses are Private, meaning the only students enrolled in the class will be you or others in your personal group.
Only have a few hours? Short courses offer one-on-one private instruction with a master artisan and are perfect for visitors or enthusiasts seeking an artistic overview and an opportunity to make one-of-a-kind creations to have at home! Our two-hour sessions are ideal for individuals, as well as group gatherings (up to 8 participants) for team building, date nights, or family gatherings.
Short Courses are available by appointment only, Monday through Saturday during our business hours (10am-5pm) from October through May (our summer months are dedicated to the Summer Technical Workshop for ages 9-18).
