Holiday Clay Ornament (Kids & Families)
Get into the holiday spirit with a festive clay workshop designed for kids (and parents, too, if you’d like to join in!). In this class, children will create 3–5 of their very own clay ornaments, depending on the sizes and shapes they choose. Using pre-rolled slabs of clay, kids will cut out fun holiday designs with cookie cutters and add their own special details. They’ll also have the chance to make a small handbuilt ornament—like a snowman.

TRY-IT CLASSES (Saturday Afternoons)

Get your hands in the clay and see what wheel throwing is all about.

Spend a fun, relaxed afternoon learning how to throw on the pottery wheel — no experience required! Bring a friend, family member, or come solo and discover the joy of shaping clay into something uniquely yours. You’ll create a couple of pieces, choose your glaze color, and our studio team will handle the trimming, firing, and glazing for you. We’ll contact you when your finished pots are ready for pickup.

All tools and supplies are included — just bring your curiosity (and maybe a buddy). Pieces are usually ready in 2-3 weeks after the class.

Ages 14/15 & up
*All of our wheels are adult sized
$75 per person (Ticket required for each participant; includes clay)

DATE NIGHT CLASSES (Saturday Evenings)

Clay, creativity, and a little romance — the perfect night out.

Ditch dinner and a movie for something memorable! Our Date Night Pottery Class is a playful, hands-on experience where you and your partner (or bestie) can laugh, learn, and make something together on the pottery wheel. No experience needed — just be ready to get a little messy and have fun. You’ll each throw a couple of pieces, pick your glaze colors, and we’ll take care of the rest.

All tools, supplies, and firing are included — you just show up and enjoy the night. Pieces are usually ready in 2-3 weeks after the class.

Ages 18 & up
$75 per person (Ticket required for each participant; includes clay)

SIP & SPIN CLASSES (Friday Evenings)

Looking for a hands-on night out that’s a little more creative than your usual plans? Join us for a Sip & Spin, a one-time pottery experience where clay meets good vibes. In this relaxed, guided session, you’ll get a feel for throwing on the pottery wheel—no pressure, no perfection required. Whether you’re flying solo or coming with friends, it’s the perfect way to unwind, get a little messy, and make something with your own two hands.

Bring your favorite wine, beer, and some snacks if you want—we’ll supply the clay, tools, and a fun atmosphere. You’ll have the chance to create one or two pieces on the wheel, and our studio team will take it from there: trimming, glazing, and firing your work after class. (You even get to pick your glaze colors before you leave!) Pieces are usually ready in 2-3 weeks after the class.

Ages 21 & up
$75 per person (Ticket required for each participant; includes clay)

Classes meet once a week for 3 hours and focus on the potter’s wheel to make clay forms. We offer a variety of cone 6 clay for you to choose from, including red and white varieties. Classes will also focus on proper glazing techniques, choosing from a wide array of the studio’s cone 6 glazes. These glazes, when layered correctly, produce many additional colors and effects on the surfaces of clay forms. You may use the studio anytime there are no classes scheduled during the length of your class session. Please refer to the studio calendar.
