Ceramics Intensive at MUD Ceramics Studio

Planner rationale: - Keeps the high-commitment pathway visible and preserves the Monday evening anchor. - At full 30-seat capacity, sold-out gross is $13,500 over 36 class-hours, about $375 per class-hour before non-teacher costs. - Opportunity cost is high because it occupies Monday evenings for 12 weeks, but this is an explicit business anchor, not a slot to optimize away.

Age restriction: 18+ (16 & 17 with parental permission).

Some dates fall on holidays. Unless MUD announces a closure, this class still meets as scheduled because clay changes from week to week; keeping the weekly rhythm lets students trim, finish, and fire work while pieces are at the right stage.

Please note:

MUD does not offer make-up classes for missed sessions, including absences due to illness, travel, or personal scheduling conflicts. Our classes follow a structured curriculum, and missed instruction cannot be rescheduled. Please review all class dates before enrolling to make sure you can attend each session.

Bisque firing is included. Optional glaze firing for finished take-home work is $3 per pound.

In the event of adverse weather conditions, MUD Ceramics Studio remains open for classes unless a Travel Advisory recommends suspending non-essential travel.

Students who are unable to complete their glazing during class should plan for an additional five-week timeline. Three weeks after the course ends, students may return to glaze any unfinished pieces. Completed work will be ready for final pick-up two weeks after the glazing appointment. Glazing appointments are offered as a courtesy and cannot be rescheduled.
