Be tutored by a resident artist to learn different techniques than are covered in class or be walked through something that challenges you one-on-one. Private lessons must be initially arranged through the Clay Studio of Missoula Office, and after the first lesson, future lessons may be scheduled at the discretion of the instructor.

​

Students who receive private tutoring must be members or active students enrolled in a class. Private students must already be familiar with and be able to follow all studio policies and procedures. There is not studio storage space available for non-renters receiving private tutoring: you will need to supply your own tool chest and damp box to transport work and supplies to and from the studio if you are not renting or actively in a class.

 

Private tutoring fees do not include clay or materials. Firing fees apply.

Tutoring scheduling will depend on the availability of a resident artist instructor and one of our classroom spaces.

​

Please book tutoring knowing what specific methods or techniques you desire aide with, so the resident artist can offer targeted help to improve your developing skills. Tutoring sessions do not operate as curriculum-based lessons to learn independently. This is meant to be supplemental to class-based learning or to give a guided refresh of a method if you haven't worked in the studio for a long time.

The Clay Studio of Missoula was developed for community-style class learning, and we ask that those who have not handled clay at all start with our beginning pottery class, not only to learn the material, but to get a sense for how our space is operated. Try our private sessions if you'd like to get your own group together to learn. We currently do not offer one-on-one tutoring for children.
