Come and make something.

North Fork wine, cheese from the farm stand up the road, and both of us at work. The wheel is going, there’s a table on the bench half built, and you’re welcome to ask about any of it. Bring someone.

• Free. Tell us you’re coming so we buy enough cheese.
• Everything on the shelves is for sale that night.

No wheel and no experience needed. We start with a ball of clay and show you how to pinch, coil and smooth it into a cup or a small bowl. You pick a glaze before you leave. We fire it, and it’s ready to collect or ship in four weeks.

• Includes clay, glaze, both firings and two glasses of wine or cider.
• You make one piece. Ages 21 and over.
• Wear something you don’t mind getting clay on.

A morning at the wheel for people who have never tried. We center the clay with you, pull up a wall together, and by noon you’ve thrown a cylinder that we turn into a mug. We trim it, add the handle, glaze it in the color you choose and fire it.

• Includes clay, glaze and both firings.
• Your mug is ready in five weeks.
• Short nails help. Aprons are here.

Firing No. 15 goes into the kiln on Monday and comes up to temperature overnight. Stop by the yard on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon and one of us will show you the flame, the cones bending, and what’s on the shelves inside.

• Free, no booking. The yard gate is open.
• It’s warm by the kiln. Children are welcome with a grown-up.

We throw and bisque the pots ahead of time. You choose one, then brush, dip and wax it with our six glazes while we explain what each one does in the kiln. Good for a group, and good if you’d rather decorate than build.

• Includes the pot, glaze, the firing and two glasses of wine or cider.
• Ready to collect or ship in three weeks. Ages 21 and over.

Coffee in the yard from 9:30. At 10:00 the sliding door opens and about twenty-four new pieces are on the oak shelves, each one tagged with its price. The kiln door stays open until noon so you can look in. People on the email list get a link a day early.

• Free. Come early if there’s a piece you want.
• The same pieces go on sale online at 10:00 Eastern.

Once a year we put out every piece with a small flaw we’ve been holding back: a pinhole in the glaze, a rim that isn’t quite round. They work as well as any other and cost 30% less. Cider on the stove, wrapping at the counter.

• Free, no booking. In the shop only.
• Gift wrapping in linen and twine, $6 a piece.

The joiner shows you how to clean, sand and oil wood so it lasts: what to use, how much, and how to fix a water ring. Bring one piece of your own, ours or anyone’s. You go home with a tin of the oil we use on our walnut.

• Includes a 100 ml tin of hard oil and a cloth.
• One piece each, small enough to carry.
