Class Information
The Cottage Place Art School is a fun place to come and enjoy the unique setting, while experiencing joy in creating works of art together!
Classes Offered This Year Include
• Personal One-On-One Pottery Lessons.
• Occasional Pottery Sales in the Barn.
(look for signs the day before the sale)
Concerning Your Finished Art Projects
Refers to your clay projects only.
Due to the medium of working with clay, there is a drying time required before pieces can be put in the kiln, fired, and glazed. Your pieces will need to dry slowly depending on the size you make them. Before our last session together Eileen will discuss with you what glaze colors you would like and she will glaze them for you. Arrangements will be made for shipping your pieces to you when they are finished.
Payment will be collected for shipping costs before you leave. If you live in the five state areas (MN, WI, IA, ND, SD), we will ship them by Spee-Dee Delivery. Outside those areas we will use UPS. You can expect your pieces to be delivered generally within 3 weeks.

• Tools and work aprons will be provided. If you have anything you would like to use for creating texture, pictures of projects that inspire you, or embellishments to add to your artwork, please bring them with you!
