One- and Two-Day packages are specifically designed for those who would like to get started in clay printing. The workshops teach skills on the machine and with the software, in addition to basic rule-of-thumb clay printing information and ample practice time during which we troubleshoot frequently arising issues. Students appreciate the guided hands-on aspect of these workshops and the ample time during which we can work with specific design challenges.
For those looking for less technical information but would like to explore their creativity in a guided making process, we suggest our two-hour Make Your Own Cup workshops. These are entry-level fun, non-technical making workshops where participants learn about designing a simple form on the computer and printing it with clay. Afternoon and evening options are available throughout the week. Cups are available to take home in 2-4 weeks.

Let me know your schedule preferences and the number of people attending, and I'm happy to coordinate with you.
