Parties
& events
Choose your event.
No two groups are exactly alike, which is why we offer a variety of pottery experiences for all ages.
From birthdays and bridal showers to corporate team building, school groups and fundraisers, here is how we make space for your crew.
Pottery painting
Browse our ceramic pieces and paint at your own pace. We take care of glazing and firing so you pick up finished keepsakes later.
Start from scratch with real clay. Guided step-by-step by our instructors, everyone gets to shape, sculpt, and decorate their own piece.
Clay handbuilding
Private wheel workshop
Get behind the pottery wheel and try one of the oldest crafts in the world. Each guest has their own wheel and receives personalized instruction throughout the workshop.
Host a pottery painting event
Pick a piece, grab some paints, and make something special together. Our team is always nearby with tips, brushes, and fun decorating tricks like stamping, sponging, and stencilling.
