Since all ceramic studios have different class lengths, firing costs, and other fees, We have come up with a way to analyze all of the prices and equalize them so that you can find out how much a class truly costs at each studio. The "Listed Class Fee" column is the ceramic studios advertised class price (for their most common class). The green column "Total Class Est." is our way of adding up all of the associated costs and giving you a way to compare those costs across different studios. The column: "Price Est. Per Week" is our way of finding the true price of each ceramic class by taking the total cost per class session and dividing it by the number of weeks in a class session. This finally allows us to see which ceramic studio in New York City has the cheapest costs when all factors are included.
