CHOOSE YOUR EVENT STYLE
Option 1:
The Dual-Technique Hybrid
6 to 24 Participants
$100 PP
HOW IT WORKS: We split your party into two equal teams (up to 12 on the wheels and up to 12 at the handbuilding tables). Team A starts at the pottery wheels learning to throw bowls, while Team B sculpts a custom functional project at the handbuilding tables. Halfway through, our instructors guide the groups to switch places so everyone gets to experience both disciplines.
KEEPSAKES: Each participant keeps up to 4 pieces total — two thrown on the wheel and two crafted by hand.
INSTRUCTOR REQUIREMENT: Because this option divides the group across both the wheel line and the handbuilding tables simultaneously, a second instructor is required to ensure everyone receives proper support.
Option 2:
The Pottery Wheel Only
6 to 12 Participants
$85 PP
HOW IT WORKS: Your group will have exclusive use of the wheel line. The event includes a comprehensive introductory demonstration followed by a helpful mid-class demo to refine technique. Each person can throw as much as they want during the session. The last half hour of class is strictly reserved for cleanup.
KEEPSAKES: Each participant selects their top 2 pieces to be professionally trimmed and glazed in the color of their choice.
Option 3:
Handbuilding Table Party
6 to 12 Participants
$85 PP
HOW IT WORKS: Your group will select a specific project in advance, and our studio team will prep all specialized materials and tools. Your teacher will guide the group step-by-step through the making process using foundational slab, coil, and sculpting techniques.
KEEPSAKES: Each participant keeps up to 2 handbuilt pieces to be fired and glazed.
SAMPLE PROJECTS: Textured mugs, butter dishes, succulent planters, or custom photo frames!
THE DETAILS
BASE PER-PARTICIPANT FEE: $85 per person — covers all raw clay, tools, premium studio glazes, and complete two-stage kiln firing for up to 2 pieces.
DUAL-TECHNIQUE HYBRID SURCHARGE: An additional $25 per participant ($100 total) covers materials, trimming, and firing labor for the 2 extra keepsakes.
FLAT INSTRUCTOR FEE: $175 per instructor.

Keepsakes + Pottery Pickup
At the end of your session, everyone will choose their preferred studio glazes from our selection. After your group leaves, our studio team carefully dries, trims, labels, bisque fires, hand-glazes, and glaze-fires your collection. The entire turnaround process takes about 4 to 6 weeks. Once the collection is packed and boxed together, we will email the primary event coordinator to arrange a single-group pickup. Your finished, handmade pieces will be completely food, microwave, and dishwasher safe!
