NEW: Our Clay for Home Program
Try out our new Clay for Home program. This program is for people who prefer to work on clay projects from home and want access to District Clay's glazes and kilns.
It's simple: you purchase 25 lbs of clay and we send you an instruction sheet on how to set up a home studio as well as links to helpful You Tube videos on creating fun clay projects. Your home becomes your new Creativity Incubator.
When you're ready, you drop off work at District Clay to be bisque and glaze fired. You can also come in and use District Clay glazes (or you can use appropriate Cone Six or Cone 10 commercial glazes.)

A Safe Place To Play With Clay
We've worked hard to make District Clay a safe place to play with clay. That includes socially distanced wheels and work stations, stringent entrance and cleaning/disinfecting protocols, increased fresh airflow through District Clay and HEPA (99.97%) filtration (one of our units is pictured at left) in our wheel rooms.
We follow CDC Guidelines and regularly survey our students and review our steps to see what improvements we can make.
