We’d love to hear from you! But first, check the FAQs:
Q: How can I become a member?
A: Fill out the membership waitlist. We will reach out if and when a spot becomes available!
Q: How do I sign up for classes?
A: The best way to be informed about upcoming classes is to add your e-mail address to our mailing list (at the top of this page!), which we use to announce classes and special events. Our classes fill up very quickly, so being on the email list is truly the best way to be notified about class openings. Please do not email us asking when classes will be announced.
Q: When are you open? I’d like to come buy some pottery.
A: We are open Saturdays 10-4, and Sundays 10-4. You can come peruse the shop and see what our members make! We do not have open studio hours for people to drop in and work with clay. The best way to come do clay with us is to sign up for a class.
Q: Do you sell clay?
A: Yes, we sell ^6 clay from Alligator Clay in 25lb bag increments. The clay bodies we usually carry include: Black Pepper, Cinq Rouge, Red Star, Lovestone, Groove Mix, and sometimes others. Please do not reach out asking what we have in stock - just stop by during shop hours and ask the shopsitter about what clay you can purchase!
Q: I make pottery at home, is it possible to fire my work in Byrdie’s kilns?
A: Check out the Satellite Membership option on our Membership page!
Q: I have a commission request, can I email it to you?
A: Sure! We are happy to pass along commission requests to our wider network of ceramicists, though can’t make any promises that someone will take you up on it. You can describe your project in the below contact form and we’ll forward it along.
