Enquire about classes at Clayschool

Please read through all the details below before signing up to our waitlist.

How we work

  • Clayschool has 4 x 10 week terms (school terms) with classes 6 days per week.

  • We have beginner to experienced students in all classes so it is best to pick a class that suits your lifestyle.

  • You attend your “home” class each week, but have access to the studio between 1:30 - 5:00pm Monday to Thursday for extra practice and to make up missed time.

  • Clayschool has a very high retention of students, so it often takes a few terms to receive an offer for a place. But once you are on the waitlist you will retain your place until I can offer you a spot in any of the classes you have nominated as a preference.

Please register you interest via the form below. If you provide class preferences I can place you on the waitlist, once I have offered places to the current students I can offer those waitlisted remaining available places. If you would like to accept the offer, you will need to reply and pay a deposit to confirm your place. (I will send details with my offer). Please add my email to your contacts as I’m finding many offer emails going to junk folders.
