Classes

We offer ceramics classes every quarter in order to promote arts and ceramics education at Stanford. Classes are taught by volunteers, are not for credit, and run for 10 weeks. Classes have a $115/quarter fee (heavily subsidized compared to outside studios), which includes glaze, kiln firings, 24/7 studio access, and—new for Fall 2025—unlimited clay. This price reflects a $15 increase to ensure that students have free access to "class clay" for all their projects, removing the previous requirement to purchase your own clay for use outside of class time. We offer both beginner classes (Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday 6-9pm, Wednesday 9am-12pm) and an intermediate class (Thursday 6-9pm).

Classes are strictly first-come, first-served, no exceptions. Priority is given to Stanford affiliates. Financial aid is always available if the cost is a significant barrier to you doing ceramics. 

For signups, please check our home page! We generally open registration on the same day as Stanford class enrollment, and post the link a week in advance.
