School and Youth Group Field Trips

Field Trip Base Fee: $50, to be paid as a deposit at the time of official booking. This option is unique in that the overall fee depends on group size. A fee of $10 for each project participant will be assessed the day of the trip, which can be paid by the host organization, by each participant, or a combination, to be discussed at booking. Chaperones are welcome to participate, but must also pay the project fee to join. Group minimum of 5, maximum 20 per group.

• Example: Field trip for a 5 student group, $50 + 5($10) = $100 total.
  These fees cover materials, and firing of works made during the project phase. Instruction is provided by our Education Coordinator to accommodate the special reduced rate.
   

Please see our refund policy HERE. Additionally, you can opt to reschedule up to 3 days prior to the experience for no charge.
 

These trips are ideal for groups that would benefit from the educational portion of the tour, or small groups for which private bookings may be out of financial accessibility. The additional project fee can be paid by the hosting school or organization, or by students individually.
 

These sessions are specially hosted by the Education Coordinator, and are only available on weekdays when the studio is open and core staff are available.

• Because these sessions are taught by a crucial member of core staff, only one group session may be booked in a day. We can sometimes make exceptions if groups are traveling far and having difficulties chartering transportation, but this must be discussed with the Education Coordinator.
   

Teachers/Group Leaders must provide the name and phone number of the institution they work for to qualify for this special option.
 

At least one responsible adult chaperone is expected to accompany each visiting group to help manage students.
 

Field trips must be scheduled at least one month in advance. We cannot guarantee availability, months will vary based on classes and events. Occasionally we can fit in a closer booking: not guaranteed.
 

Field trip group leaders must choose from one of the field trip accessible projects at the bottom of the page. These lessons are specially tailored to suit the shorter time available and keep field trips at an accessible cost.
 

Eligible Groups: public schools, school-based clubs, private schools, homeschool groups, youth serving organizations
 

Participants must have at least attended most of kindergarten and be 5+ years of age. Younger kids do not have the coordination or attention to handle a quick-paced clay project wherein they must follow multiple instructions precisely. If groups have a spread of ages, you must alert the education coordinator. Groups of more than 8 students must be within 3 years of each other. 
 

Please familiarize yourself with our Code of Conduct, and prepare your students to follow the studio rules HERE.
 

Groups can call to book a standalone tour only for free. Tours must be within public open hours when studio staff are on hand, and take roughly 30-45 minutes. Standalone tours must be booked at least two weeks in advance. If you need a take-home activity, our raw clay outreach activities can be added to a tour for $2 per person.
