Tips & Advice

  • Reserve a ticket before attending, since this is a ticketed workshop and each ticket includes hands-on instruction and materials.
  • Think about whether you want a mug, bowl, vase, or planter so you can focus your hand-building on a piece you want to make.
  • Consider the ceramic clay upgrade if you want studio glazing and firing to make a piece waterproof and food-safe.
  • Bring yourself; clay, tools, and other materials are provided, so you do not need to bring pottery supplies.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Ceramic clay upgrade is available for an extra purchase; each piece requires its own add-on.
  • A separate pottery-painting session is available to sign up for at the Pottery With a Purpose Studio.
