Frequently asked questions

What COVID precautions are currently in place?

Group sessions have an extremely limited capacity-10. These sessions are currently held outside, overlooking a walking trail. Each party is seated at their own table, with their own tools and supplies, socially distanced from each other's table. All tools are disinfected between sessions, all linens professionally laundered and surfaces cleaned. Hand sanitizer is readily available as well as bathrooms for hand washing. Masks are required.



Are you currently offering classes?

Yes. Please find all offerings HERE. Please keep in mind these are subject to change with evolving public health protocols.



How do I use a Groupon?

Groupons are for the Pinch session. Reserve your date HERE.



Can I use my Groupon for any sessions other than the Pinch?

Nope



What is the difference between the Pinch and the Pottery Wheel sessions?

The Pinch experience utlizes our hands to create pottery in a traditional manner. The Pottery Wheel is where we sit down at one of those spinny things and create.



Do you offer private events?

Yes. Private events start at $425 for up to 6 participants and are easily arranged on a grander scale. Please email to create and schedule a unique art experience (personalized serving ware for housewarmings, tags for the holiday gift exchange, flower pots. copitas, shooters & sippers and more.)

Adewole Arts, inside Crafted at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro California directly across from the Clay Kitchen Studio.



Can I eat out of this?

Pieces are created with food safe materials. However, caution is encouraged on pieces with texture to ensure cleanliness. Pieces not recommended as food safe are usually marked. Please feel free to inquire about specific items.



When do Items ship?

I typically ship once a week, on Saturday.



I'm local, can I pick up my order?

Of course, please select pickup during your checkout. You can walk into the market, or pull up to the specail parking by the entrance for curbside pickups.



What is that weird squiggle on the bottom of my pot and on your sign?

That is my mark. It was inspired by an Nsibidi symbol for the kitchen and partially inspired my kitchen studio.

'TED Talk' TBA



Did you go to art school?

Nope.

I fire my work from mid to high, with multiple firings for a selection of pieces.

I use a variety of prepared glazes and mix a few of my own.



How do you get the colors I see on your pieces?

Inspiration with experimentation & documentation.

After 30 days, the difference between the value of your Groupon and the price of the session will need to be paid.
