  • $500 event minimum for 1-5 people.

    $85 per additional person.

    25 person limit

    **With advanced notice, we may be able to accommodate a group larger than 25. Fill out the form below and we will contact you to discuss.

  • Pick a project from the list below for your group to create during the workshop. Everyone will make the same project, with room to add their own unique twist

    We prepare everything in advance and provide all the tools and textures necessary to complete your pieces.

    Your instructor will start with a step-by-step demonstration of the chosen project. After that, everyone will work at their own pace while we coach, encourage, and answer questions along the way - offering help as needed.

    Once finished, everyone will select their glaze color and leave the rest to us.

Sample Handbuilding Projects

Workshop Option 2: Wheel Throwing

  • $720 event minimum for up to 6 people.

    $110 per additional person.

    11 person limit

  • Class will start with a brief introduction and throwing demonstration. After that it's your turn!

    For your first piece, the group will be guided step-by-step through the throwing process. Then, time permitting, everyone will have a chance to make a 2nd piece.

    Our awesome instructors will coach and encourage you along the way, offering help as needed.

    Once you leave, our staff will trim, glaze, and fire your pieces, and have them ready for pickup within 4-6 weeks
