- Ceramic Classes (all levels)
- Hand Building and Wheel instruction
- Scheduled Practice Time (available 7 days a week)
- Private Lessons for individuals or groups

La Mano is equipped with 29 electric pottery wheels. A separate area for hand building, contains a slab roller and extruder. Six electric kilns, firing daily to cone 05 and cone 6, allow for the production of hundreds of beautiful pieces each week. Two distinct clay bodies (a white and a brown stoneware) and a unique collection of 15 house glazes (mixed right in the studio) offer a palette of colors for all tastes and projects. Our extensive library of ceramic books and magazines is available for everyone working in our space.
COVID-19 POLICIES
Mask wearing is optional, not required. We ask everyone to continue to respect the personal space of others and avoid forming crowds in dense areas of the studio. We recognize that the background viral level or the viral make-up may change in the future and, in those events, we reserve the right to alter the mask wearing policy accordingly.
