No experience necessary!!
VALENTINE'S DAY WORKSHOPS
All workshops are on Saturday, February 14 and cost $220 per pair, which includes all tools, materials and firing fees for your bowls and mugs.
10am-1pm OR 2-5pm: Valentine's Date Day Workshop
6-9pm: Queer Date Night Workshop
Take your galentine or valentine out for a unique creative experience! You and your date will each throw a bowl on the pottery wheel and then you’ll each create a handbuilt mug. Forget dressing to impress... leave your fancy pants at home and dress to get messy in this alternative approach to Valentine’s Day! You’ll pick glaze colors for all your creations and we’ll fire them and have them back to you in a month.
You’ll start the first night by learning how to “wedge” your clay and “throw” bowls on the pottery wheel. Next, you’ll learn how to trim and finish your bowls to prep them for the kiln. From there, you’ll try other shapes like plates and mugs. At the end of the week, you’ll continue building skills as well as learn how to glaze your pots.
ADULT HAND BUILDING WORKSHOPS
(NOT on the pottery wheel)
Handbuilt Mugs
Saturday, January 24, 10am-Noon
$75 includes all materials, firing, and glazing of your mug.
Make a Mug that is uniquely yours! We will teach you how to roll a slab of clay, texture it, assemble it and add a handle.
At the end of the workshop, you’ll choose a glaze color, leave the mug with us, and we will fire and glaze it for you. It will be ready for your salted caramel hot chocolate as the fall days grow colder!
