Pottery + plants = the perfect combo. Sculpt your own plant pot or vase in this beginner-friendly feel-good clay workshop.
About this Event

Let your creativity take root! Join us for a beginner-friendly clay class where you’ll handbuild your own plant pot, vase, or quirky planter pal—no experience needed!

You’ll learn pinch pot and coil techniques with step-by-step guidance from our expert instructor. Expect a chill, joy-filled evening of creativity, clay, and a little friendly competition (yes, there’s optional pottery trivia with prizes!).

You'll leave with 1–3 sculpted pieces made entirely by you to enjoy or to gift!

Each ticket includes:

  • Hands-On Instruction: A relaxed, hands-on pottery workshop guided by an experienced host. Workshop length ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on the theme
  • Pottery 101: 2 hours of hands-on pottery fun, learning pinch pots, coils, and how to turn them into amazing creations like plant pots, vases, or custom planter pals!
  • Materials: All clay, tools, and materials are provided at the workshop
  • Take Home: Make and take home up to 3 pieces of cute (and maybe a bit wonky) pottery
  • No Kiln Needed: Option to air dry and paint your pieces at home for decorative pieces (white paint + paintbrush included) OR upgrade to ceramic pieces (you can upgrade on-site, before the end of the workshop), which includes glazing (in white or clear) and firing of up to 2 creations to make them waterproof and food-safe. Your ceramic ticket will also include shipping of your finished pottery to you in 6-8 weeks.
  • Good vibes & a fun time with nice humans: This is the perfect way to spend a couple of hours with friends or make new ones, all while creating something you can actually use.

Sign up now, and make memories - and pottery - that’ll last a lifetime!

Note: While we take every precaution, pottery is an art form and sometimes pieces can break or crack during drying and firing. We cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss that may occur during the process. Thank you for your understanding and support.
