Private Lessons with Sara

Want to learn the basics or sharpen your skills right here, in downtown Colorado Springs?

Private lessons are focused, hands-on time with me — perfect if you’re brand new to clay or looking to refine a specific technique. Whether you want to throw on the wheel, hand-build, or focus on one part of the process (like pulling walls or trimming), each session is fully customized to you.

💡 How It Works

• Build your lesson below!
• I’ll email you to schedule a time that fits your calendar based on your selections.
• Show up ready to create! 

🌿 1) Lesson Options

• 60 Minutes: $45 Perfect for a quick intro, skill tune-up, or focused session on one stage (throwing, trimming, or glazing).
• 90 Minutes: $65 A balanced session with time for demos and guided practice.
• 120 Minutes: $90 Great for beginners or anyone wanting more in-depth, unhurried learning time.

💫 Prefer to bundle?

• 2 One-Hour sessions (Throw + Trim): $85
• 3 One- Hour sessions (Throw + Trim + Glaze): $125

✨2) Clay Options

• Beginners: $3 for 3 pounds of clay
• Intermediate: $5 for 5 pounds of clay
• Large Throwers: $8 for 8 pounds of clay 

✨3) Glazing Options

• Return to glaze your own work: $35 (one hour session) + material fee.
• I glaze for you: $30 (I’ll finish and fire your pieces in your chosen glaze)
• No Glazing: $0 Not every pot has to make it home. Many students just enjoy the process and recycle their clay; this is also a more affordable route!
  

Your pieces are typically ready for pickup within 2–4 weeks, depending on drying and kiln cycles.
