Private Group Workshops for Adults Groups of 5 or more can book a private workshop at Mudflat! *Please Note*: Mudflat is unable to schedule private group workshops Thanksgiving-early January Workshops can be scheduled for daytime, Friday evenings or weekends for up to 15 participants, focusing on basic wheelthrowing or handbuilding techniques. How the Workshop Works: A Mudflat teacher will demonstrate how to make a bowl on the pottery wheel (wheelthrowing workshop) or how to use slabs and coils to make functional or sculptural work (handbuilding workshop). Participants will work at their own pottery wheel or table space, with instruction and assistance from the teacher. Each participant will select a glaze color for their bowl/handbuilt item, so their best effort can be glazed and fired. After the workshop, the Mudflat teacher will dry and trim the pieces. Pieces are first bisque fired, then glaze is applied, then they are fired again. The whole process takes 4-5 weeks. We will wrap up and box all of the pieces for your group and notify the contact person when they are ready for pick-up, approximately one month after the workshop. Most pieces are food, dishwasher, and microwave safe. Scheduling a workshop at Mudflat: Start by filling out an inquiry form below. This inquiry form will gather information such as: How many participants are in your group? (Maximum group size is 15 participants.) Do you want a wheelthrowing or handbuilding workshop?

Financial Aid Mudflat is pleased to be able to offer financial aid to adults and children who wish to participate in our classes and workshops. We have established 4 funds that support this opportunity. The John McCooey Fund and the Ellen Schorr Fund both provide financial aid for adults enrolling in classes and workshops. The Judith Fuchel–Mahler Fund provides financial aid for adult students enrolling in handbuilding or sculpture classes specifically. The Elee Koplow Fund provides financial aid to children, as well as a parent (or other adult) and a child, taking classes and workshops at Mudflat. These Funds are supported in part by many generous individuals who have made financial contributions in memory of John McCooey, a longtime Mudflat student; Ellen Schorr, a Mudflat founder; Judith Fuchel-Mahler, artist; and Elee Koplow, a Mudflat studio artist and faculty member. The Funds are also supported by the sale of raffle tickets at our two Open Studio events each year. Mudflat artists, faculty members and students donate pottery for our popular raffles. Financial aid awards are given for partial (up to 50%) tuition of a class or workshop. Financial aid applications will be evaluated on clearly demonstrated need and the individual’s commitment to clay. If you are in need of financial assistance so that you may attend one of our classes or workshops, please fill out the application form . For more information, please contact the Director .
