FAQs

  • Please arrive 10-15 minutes before the listed start time. We lock our doors during class time to help preserve a focused and peaceful environment.

    Wear clothes that are comfortable and you don’t mind getting a little dirty. Clay does wash out of most things and we provide aprons for your use. We recommend tying back long hair and removing jewelry from hands and wrists. Long nails are not a deal breaker, but they can make things a little tricky for you.

    All classes include an allotment of clay and tools/materials. Fired work will be available for pick-up 4-5 weeks after your final class.

  • We are located at 30 N Main St. in “Uptown” Centerville. You can find our main entrance on the south side, right next to the Asahel-Wright Museum. There is a large parking lot directly behind the building.

  • The Gallery will be open to the public:

    Tuesday-Thursday: 4-6

    Friday: 5-7

    Saturday: 1-3

    Closed Sunday and Monday

    Your pottery is available for pick up: It is best to pick-up anytime the gallery is open. If you need to come at another time, please reach out and we will do our best to accommodate you.

    Please note, while a class is running our doors remain locked to keep the studio environment peaceful and undisturbed.

  • We sure do! You can find our e-gift cards right here.

  • We try to offer classes for a wide-variety of ages, levels, and interests. Please note that most classes have age requirements and some have recommended skill levels.

    First time or has it been a long time? We recommend trying out an Open Wheel or Hand Building Workshop.

  • Yes…

    While your ceramic-wares are indeed food, dishwasher, and microwave safe - we would recommend hand washing to protect them.

    *Please note* They are NOT oven safe.

  • Our monthly membership program is still in the works. Stay tuned!

  • Not at this time. We currently only use one specific clay body in the studio and we know it well. We can never be 100% positive that outside clay will be the right type for our firing temperatures. For the integrity of your work and our kilns, we only fire work made in the studio with our clay. Thanks for understanding.

Studio Policies

Cancellation

Our class sizes are small and each spot reserved is just for you. In order to refill spots, we need a bit of a heads-up.

A full refund requires 2 days notice for a one-time class/workshop and at least 5 days notice before the first day of a 6 week course.

Sick kid? Sick yourself? Life get in the way at the last minute? It happens. Cancelations with 24 hours notice may be given credit towards a future class.

Please contact us at reclaimceramics@gmail.com if you need to cancel.

Finished Work

Pottery for most classes goes through 4 phases: drying, bisque firing, glazing, glaze firing. Due to this process, your work will be available 4-5 weeks after the end of your class.

You should receive an email when your work is ready to go home with you. Any work that is unclaimed after 2 weeks will be disposed of. That makes us very sad but we just do not have the space to store old work.

Ceramics are fragile and the firing process can be unpredictable. We will take every professional precaution to make sure your work makes it back you looking amazing but, please know that cracks, chips, etc. can happen. If any finished piece becomes completely lost or broken due to actions of the studio, we will do our best to make it right with you.
