Please select the scale option that feels right for you and your current finances.  Tier 1 ($235) is a pay-it-forward rate that helps subsidize lower-cost spots for those who need them and supports our ability to continue offering and expanding these programs. Tier 2 ($210) reflects the true cost of the class. If you’re able, we encourage choosing a higher tier—your support directly helps us expand affordable class opportunities for others. There are a set amount of spaces for each option, and if one is sold out, we encourage you to register for the following month or reach out to our studio team at classes@stilllifeceramics.com.
