Play with Clay at Firestick Pottery

Play with Clay at Firestick Pottery

Ojai has a 100-year history of ceramics. Our studio, located a mile from the city center, is surrounded by nature, in the midst of a fruit orchard.

We are the primary working studio for the great artists of the Ojai Valley. Visitors may watch potters work, and may "try their hand" at a range of techniques. After making their pottery, they may come back on another day to trim or glaze it, or they may pay a small fee for one of the potters to trim, glaze and high-fire the work. We will even ship the pieces anywhere in the country...

Itinerary

We will first do a tour of the studio and gallery, looking at kinds of pottery, visiting the kilns and learning about the process. I do a quick "demo" of pottery throwing, and then visitors will don aprons, sit at their wheels, and (with hands-on help) begin making pots! Everyone should be able to make at least 2 or 3 pieces.
