Works created outside of the Cape Coral Art Center and/or created with clay or glaze purchased outside of the Cape Coral Art Center are prohibited to be fired in Cape Coral Art Center Kilns. This prevents pieces from being fired at the wrong temperature, destroying kiln shelves, bricks and other students’ artwork.

Drop-In studio times are offered at a nominal fee for students enrolled in the current class session. Dates, times, and costs are posted in the sculpture studio after the first week of class in each session.

Supply List:
- Basic clay tool set with 8 tools
- Towel
- White stoneware clay with sand. If you like, you can wait to discuss clay options in the first class.

The Art Center wants you to learn while having fun and staying safe! Closed-toed shoes and long pants are required during the Raku firing process. Please keep a pair of safety glasses and respirator handy for use in ceramics programs in case of sanding, Raku firing or spray glazing.
