Please refer to our most frequently asked questions before contacting us. Thank you!
What are the studio hours?
If you want to come and check out our studio, drop off the firing or for a pick up, please come in weekdays 10 am to 5 pm and ask for Fausto. No appointments are necessary.
Where can I park?
You can park in the back of our studio, in the parking lot. Please avoid parking next to the Garage restaurant. Entrance is from the parking lot through the red/gray door.
I missed a class. Can I make it up?
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer any make ups at this time.
I am not a student or a member. Can I bring something I made to fire and how long will it take?
Yes, we do provide firing services for individuals and schools: tiles, sculptures, pots, special projects. Firing starts at $50 and is usually 3c per cubic inch for pottery, 4c per cubic inch for sculpture, around $1.80 per tile; all above per one firing. Please plan on a two week turnaround time. Rush rates available. College/high school students please note: no, you will not have your item back by tomorrow morning because you need a credit for a class. It takes three days to fire our gas kilns including loading/unloading and we don't fire on weekends. ALL FIRING DROP OFFs SHOULD BE DONE WITH FAUSTO IN PERSON, please do not leave anything at the studio, even if someone there tells you it's okay and "they will get back to you." All drop offs need to be paid for prior to firing. Also, all work on your piece needs to be done prior to bringing it in -- fixing, drying, painting, glazing, etc. Thank you!
I registered for a class but can't take it that month because my schedule changed (I got sick, my dog got sick, I had to work, etc.).
If you registered for a class and it hasn't started yet (at least 48 hours prior), you can request to be moved to a different session or for a refund. We'll do our best to accommodate your schedule, but some classes fill quickly and we may not have room in the day of your choice. If we rescheduled you for another session and you cannot make it again, your class registration is forfeited. We can only move you one time. Each time we move you, we reserve the spot for you alone. When you change last minute someone else who could be taking the class is unable to register, since we have limited number of wheels available for classes.
If the session started already or it's less than 48 hours prior, we apologise, but we won't be able to issue any refunds or make any changes. Thank you for your understanding.
Can I take one time class with a friend/wife/husband/mother?
Yes, you can. Please refer to our special events page for pricing. All reservations require a full payment before the party. You can purchase a class for two or three people here: Please email us for bigger parties.

I keep calling your phone and no one ever answers!
We do apologize for the phone inconvenience -- we don't have a receptionist and often are either teaching or loading kilns. You may leave a message and someone will eventually get back to you, but it's faster to text us: 310-989-4295 or email: echo@echoceramics.com
