Question 1

What does your logo mean?

Accepted Answer

Our logo embodies the philosophy at the heart of Studio Ceramica: beauty in imperfection. The uneven circle and subtly off-center line are intentional, a visual reflection of the human touch in every piece of handmade work.

It reminds us that imbalance is inherently human, and that the marks, shifts, and irregularities we create are what make each piece, and each person, unique.

Just as in clay, perfection isn’t the goal; it’s the process, the connection, and the quiet authenticity that define what we make and who we are.

Question 2

How long does it take to receive my finished pieces?

Accepted Answer

Your finished pieces will be ready for pickup approximately 3 weeks after your final session.

This timeframe allows your pottery to dry completely, and undergo a glaze firing. Pottery is a slow process, but the results are definitely worth the wait!

Question 3

Can I cancel my class if my schedule changes after registering?

Accepted Answer

Provided we receive at least 7 days’ notice, we’ll be happy to work with you to book another date that fits your schedule. Please note that we don’t offer refunds under any circumstances.

Question 4

How many participants can you accommodate for corporate & private events?

Accepted Answer

With 12 pottery wheels, we can host groups of 8–12 guests for a hands-on pottery experience. For larger gatherings, we can include handbuilding to welcome up to 24 participants. Group events require a minimum of 6 participants.
Reach out to us at hello@studioceramica.ca ()with your event details, and we’ll craft an unforgettable experience for your group.

Question 5

Are the finished pottery pieces food safe?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Once glazed and fired, all of our pottery is food-safe, as well as oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe.

Question 6

What do I do if some of my pieces are missing at pickup time?

Accepted Answer

Occasionally, pieces may crack or break during the firing process or be removed if they pose a risk to the kiln. While we take great care in handling every piece, pottery is a delicate art and some variation is part of the process. We understand this may be disappointing, but appreciate your understanding in this matter, and we’re always happy to help answer any questions about your work.

Question 7

What if I’m running late to my class?

Accepted Answer

We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early to get settled. If you’re running behind, don’t worry, you’re still welcome to join, but please note that class time cannot be extended. Our instructors will do their best to help you catch up.

Question 8

Is there parking nearby?

Accepted Answer

Parking is limited. Free street parking is available on Wade Ave & Jenet Ave, and there’s a Green P parking on the East side of Landsdowne Ave adjacent to the Subway Station.  There is also metered parking on Landsdowne.

As such, we encourage use of public transit or carpooling whenever possible.

Please note that parking on Paton Rd is prohibited from 12:00 AM - 7:00 PM Monday-Friday.

Question 9

Is the studio accessible?

Accepted Answer

Our studio is located on the second floor, accessible only by stairs. Unfortunately, our building does not currently have an elevator. Due to the nature of wheel throwing, the pottery wheels are not accessible for wheelchair use.

Question 10

Do you sell gift cards?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can purchase a Studio Ceramica gift card on our website, or register a loved one directly by signing them up for a class on there "book now" page.
