What you'll do:

With the expert guidance of your private instructor, enjoy 2 hours of pottery wheel fun! Learn the skills of centering, shaping, and options for surface design! Or, if you'd prefer, hand build and leave the spinning out of it - our instructors will guide you through hand-sculpting planters, mugs, or incense burners! Make memories and art you actually want to keep! Make 2 wheel-thrown pieces - mugs, cups, spice dishes, matcha bowls...etc! We dip your stoneware clay pieces in our house white glaze for a speckled white oatmeal cookie finish! (hand building offers a variety of other finish options... just ask! ) We make it a real party!

Pottery is having a reaaaaal moment. Let us snap the cutest pics of you throwin' down on the wheel and in other IG worthy spots in our charming light-filled studio. We have hand-painted murals, a custom-made tile backsplash, and the funkiest circular couch complete with a giant hand pillow and a tree growing out of the center - perfect for group shots! Make a whole night/day of it! Our studio is located in the historic Stanley Marketplace with over 50 restaurants, boutiques, bars, shops, a salon, and even an intimate oyster bar 'speakeasy' with an epic view of the mountains! You can also bring cocktails/food from any of the vendors in The Stanley!

Why we love it for your party:

Ceramics Instructors who are actual artists and always up for a party! (We are here to make sure y'all have a great and unique experience, and no experience is needed!)
Bragging rights! (Make functional pieces that you're proud of! Custom matcha bowls, salsa dishes, and cute cups!)
The CUTEST ceramics studio you will ever see (We are all artists and want to make you feel inspired in our space! So many great spots for photo ops!)
Personalized pottery (hand make your own ceramics projects on the pottery wheel or with hand-building. Finish your piece with minimal glazing or underglaze transfers, like temporary tattoos for pottery!)
Have your 'Ghost' moment (we love a silly photo op - let's make it happen!)
