One Day Pass

$120.00

The One-Day Pass lets you explore a variety of ceramic-making techniques over 6–8 hours. It’s a great option for friends, family, or partners to enjoy a creative day off together. The price includes clay, tools, instruction, underglaze used during the experience.

Wheel Throwing Workshop

$60.00

Handbuilding Workshop

$45.00

The Wheel Throwing Workshop allows you to create more symmetrical ceramic pieces. It’s more challenging than the Handbuilding Workshop, so we can only accommodate up to two guests at a time. The price includes clay, tools, instruction, underglaze used during the experience.

In the Handbuilding Workshop, you’ll spend 2 hours hand-pinching your own ceramic piece—whether it’s a cup, bowl, or vase—for yourself or as a gift for someone special. You’ll be working with clay the entire time in a relaxing, hands-on experience that’s both creative and enjoyable. The price includes clay, tools, instruction, underglaze used during the experience.
