Clay Date Pottery Workshop

Grab your Pal, Gal, or Val and join us for a beginner-friendly pottery workshop where you'll create unique handmade gifts or décor!
About this Event

Grab your bae or bestie and celebrate Pal/Gal/Valentine’s day with a drink in one hand and clay in the other while you learn the basics of hand-building pottery. Make a planter, heat-shaped dish, vase, or whatever your imagination sparks.

Whether you're a first-timer or a pottery pro, this pottery class is all about having fun and getting creative! Our expert host will walk you through the basics of handbuilding a pinch pot and show you how to transform it into unique pieces like vases, hanging planters, candle holders, and more.

Bonus: We donate $1 from every ticket to mental health initiatives. Learn more here about which non-profits we’ve given back to so far, and how you can pick who we support next.

Your ticket includes:

• Hands-On Instruction: A relaxed, hands-on pottery workshop guided by an experienced host.
• Pottery 101: Learn foundational hand-building techniques like pinch pots and coils, then turn them into functional pottery with pieces like mugs, bowls, vases, or planters. We’ll also show you how to add fun touches like handles or texture.
• All Supplies Provided: We bring the clay, tools, and materials — you just bring yourself.
• Beginner-Friendly Vibes: Laid-back, no-pressure energy perfect for first-timers, solo guests, and friend groups alike.
• Feel-Good Energy: Enjoy a welcoming, community-centered experience hosted at unique local spots — from breweries to plant shops and cozy cafés — that make the experience feel extra special.

Ceramic Clay Upgrade Add On (available for additional purchase): We'll take one of your pieces back to our studio where our studio pros will glaze and fire your pieces to make them waterproof and food-safe. Then, we'll ship your pieces back to you when they're finished, in 6-8 weeks. One add-on per piece required.
