Private Lessons FAQ

FAQ: How do I book a private lesson with a gift card?

Unfortunately our booking software uses a different payment processing system than our regular store. This means that gift cards can't be used to pay the deposit on your private lesson. However! We will happily refund your deposit back to your credit card once you're at the studio, and then you can use the gift card to pay for the whole thing. Sorry about the extra rigamarole, but it's the best we can do right now.

So to recap: use a credit card to book your lesson up front, and then we'll use your gift card to pay for the whole thing when you're at the studio.

FAQ: Is there an age limit for private lessons?

Wheel throwing takes a bit of strength and coordination, and kids can find it too challenging during just one two-hour session. For this reason, we require private lesson students to be 14 years old or older. There is no upper age limit. 

Want to give a Private Lesson as a gift?

Fantastic! If you want to pick a date for your recipient, use the form below. Don't worry if you get the date wrong–you can easily reschedule if you give us enough notice.

You'll pay a deposit on the lesson when you make the reservation. If you want to pay for the rest of the lesson in advance, just send us an email and we'll make arrangements. Otherwise, we'll collect the balance of payment after the lesson.

FAQ: What if I don't know what dates will work?

You've got two options! First, you can make your best guess at a date that works, and then reschedule later if that's no good. (We require you reschedule at least three days in advance, but would love at least a week's notice.). Just fill out the form below.

Alternately, you can give a gift card! Gift cards work for anything we sell, including handmade housewares, classes, workshops, and, of course, private lessons. But read on...
