Health, Safety & Accessibility

To help keep our space safe, masks (N95 or KN95) are required for all workshops. Please bring your own—extras are available at the studio. Masks protect against airborne illness as well as clay and glaze dust.

Our property is ADA accessible, with a ramp available for the bathroom (3 steps). On-site parking and other accommodations are available—email us with any needs: info@sooki.studio.

Sliding Scale Pricing

Our sliding scale is a tool for social equity, designed to make ceramics education accessible. Please choose the tier that fits your financial situation—this trust-based system helps us support more people.

The higher tiers reflect the full cost and subsidize lower tiers. Limited spots are available at each level. We also offer interest-free payment plans.

Questions or suggestions? We’d love to hear from you.

Studio Access + Discounts

Students receive open studio access during their workshop, Thursday–Monday from 11am to 8pm, plus a 10% discount at Sooki Supply.

Looking for a fun, creative way to spend time with friends, family, or colleagues? Our one-day workshops provide a playful, low-pressure environment where you can explore, experiment, and let go of expectations.

Participants can choose from pinch pots, coil building, slab building and glazing—versatile techniques that allow you to create just about anything. On request, workshops can also be tailored to other clay methods. After the workshop, groups will select their glaze colors, adding a personal touch to their creations.

No prior experience is required—these workshops are perfect for all ages, both for beginners curious about clay and for those with some experience who want to create in a communal setting.

During the session, you’ll have the chance to relax, express yourself, and connect with others. All pieces will be glazed, fired, and ready for pickup within three weeks.

All materials and firing are included, and participants are welcome to build as many pieces as time allows. 

Once your session is booked, we’ll be in touch to schedule a date and time. Workshops can be held on weekdays or weekends, depending on availability—we’ll work with you to find a time that fits.
