what to expect
This two-hour introduction to the pottery wheel is all about getting your hands in the clay, trying something new, socializing, and most importantly, having fun!
We’ll start with a 15-minute instructor-led demonstration covering the basics of throwing on the wheel. Then it’s your turn! You’ll have the rest of the session to practice what you’ve learned and make some pottery! Your Stude instructor will be by your side throughout the event to offer guidance, answer questions, and lend a helping hand
as you go.
Jam out to party hits. Club Stude events feature upbeat party tracks in the electronic pop, dance-pop, and hyperpop genres!

At the end of the event, you’ll choose one favorite piece to be fired and glazed in the Stude glaze of your choice. The class will wrap up with about 15 minutes of cleanup before you head out.

Unless otherwise noted, your instructor is The Stude founder and Owner, Hayley Reed (they/them).

A Few Things To Note, & Things You Can Choose To Bring
An apron: Aprons are not provided, so feel free to bring one if you’d like a little extra protection for your clothes. We also recommend wearing something you don’t mind getting a little muddy! Clay washes out of clothing, but an apron can help keep your outfit a little cleaner while you’re having fun with the clay.
BYOB: “Mud & Mingle” and “Make a Mug” events are 21+ only. Feel free to bring your own favorite beverages to enjoy during class! No hard liquor or spirits. Refreshments are not provided at The Stude, so please plan accordingly.
Nails: Shorter fingernails can make working with clay easier, so if you’re open to shorter nails, consider trimming them before class. If you have a gorgeous long manicure, your Stude instructor will be happy to help you find techniques that could work comfortably for you.
Extras:
Registration includes glazing and firing for one piece. If you’ve made additional cups or bowls you’d like to keep and fire, you can have The Stude glaze and fire up to two additional pieces for $18 each. Payment for additional pieces will be processed at the end of the event.
Location:
The Stude is located on the second floor of The Rainbow House, a historic building and co-op in Savannah’s Starland District.
You’ll find The Stude at 25 E 40th Street, Savannah, GA 31401, on the corner of E 40th Street and Drayton Street.
Please note: Getting to The Stude requires climbing a set of outdoor patio stairs followed by one flight of interior stairs. There is currently no elevator to get to the studio.
The nitty gritty & a few pottery disclaimers: Making pottery doesn’t end when you leave the studio. Drying, firing, glazing, and firing again can sometimes bring unexpected surprises that are out of our control. Pieces can occasionally crack, break, or otherwise not make it through the process for a variety of reasons.
The Stude will do our best to catch and address potential issues along the way, and we’ll carefully handle and care for your work through each step of the drying, glazing, and firing processes. Unfortunately, sometimes the clay and the kiln get the final say!
Your piece will be lightly trimmed and smoothed with a flat bottom, then fired and glazed in the Stude glaze of your choice. It will be ready for pickup in a minimum of four weeks and a maximum of six weeks. We hope you’ll get to take home the piece you made, but if it doesn’t survive the clay processes: drying, glazing, and firing, we’ll offer a similar piece made by your Stude instructor in the glaze of your choice.
