Multi-Session classes are classes that meet multiple times, like our Wheel 1 classes, Handbuilding 101 classes, and more. Single Session classes are classes or events that only have a single-date class session, and include classes like Get Your Hands Dirty, youth + family workshops, Military Family Clay workshops, Glaze 101 orientations, and more. To get started with scheduling a private class or outreach program, click on our Private Events tab.

Is the class you’re interested in already full?

Join the waitlist for the class, and you’ll be notified when a spot becomes available! Follow us on Instagram for new class announcements! We normally add new classes every 2-3 months in large “class drops” that we announce on social media.

New classes are coming on February 13 at 10 AM!

Find your class location

Your classroom location is listed on your class listing, where you initially registered for your class. Find your class location information, and then use the directions to help guide you there! Please note that Google Maps does NOT take you to the correct place for our Classroom location, so the directions are extremely important to review.

What People Are Saying

“I’ve taken classes from 3 instructors and all of them are excited to help you grow your skills and celebrate what you make. It has been incredible to have SCCA as an outlet and something to practice outside of my day job.”

— Megan Nichols

FAQs

  • Gift cards are sold as unique digital codes that can be emailed directly to your gift recipient or to yourself.

    Physical gift certificates are not available for in-studio purchase - only digital or printable versions.

  • Gift certificate codes never expire! You can use it until your credit runs out.

    If you purchased a gift certificate from SCCA before March 2022, those gift certificates expired in March 2024, as of our old 2-year expiration policy.

  • Sorry, we don’t have that functionality available.

    However, instead of emailing it to the recipient, you can elect to email it to yourself and receive a printable version of the gift certificate to gift.

  • Gift cards can be redeemed for classes or in-person for clay purchases at our member studio location (301 E. 11th Street).

    Gift cards cannot be used towards membership payments, or additional studio access options like public glazing or firing passes, kiln rentals, or sessions/day passes.
