🧑🎨 Ages: 11–15
💵 Cost: $270 per child for the full six-session series
If your kid loves making things, needs a low-pressure place to decompress after school, or just wants to try something new (and a little messy), this six-session pottery series is it.
Each Wednesday, they’ll get their hands in clay and build something totally their own like a slab-built mug, a coiled vase, or a sculpted trinket tray. We’ll guide them through real pottery techniques, encourage their creative ideas, and give them space to explore their own style.
What They’ll Do:
Learn how to pinch, coil, and slab-build like a real ceramic artist
Make functional pieces (hello, handmade mug!) and sculptural ones too
Decorate with texture tools and underglaze
Glaze and fire their pieces to make them food-safe and long-lasting
Work at their own pace and create something they're proud of
This small-group class is all about creative freedom, good vibes, and encouraging each student’s unique ideas.
What’s Included:
✔ All materials (clay, tools, glazes, aprons)
✔ Firing for all finished pieces
✔ Expert instruction and creative support
✔ A warm, relaxed studio space just for tweens
Why Tweens Love It:
Pottery lets them unplug, get creative, and make something real. It’s relaxing but never boring. They’ll create handmade pieces to keep, gift, or show off after glazing and firing.
Location: Studio Sumi- 5031 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118
Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
To request a cancellation or reschedule, email bri@sumiware.com. Deadlines are measured from the scheduled start of the first class in the series.
More than 7 days before class: You may receive a refund of your registration payment minus a $10 processing fee, or reschedule to another available class.
7 days or fewer before class: No refunds, credits, or rescheduling are available, except for the illness exceptions below.
Illness & COVID Exceptions
If you or your child are unwell, please stay home. Notify us at least 48 hours before class to receive a one-time reschedule due to illness, subject to availability. For a COVID-related absence, notify us within 24 hours of the class and provide a doctor’s note to qualify for rescheduling. These are rescheduling exceptions; they do not provide a refund.
If Your Child Misses a Class
Missed individual classes are not refundable or eligible for credit. Makeup sessions are not guaranteed, but we’ll do our best to offer a spot in another session if one is available. Otherwise, we’ll help your child catch up on missed projects during the next class. When a project can be worked on at home, we will provide materials and instructions.
