About this Experience

What you'll do:

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and get creative with your crew! At your private Mud Hut event, you'll choose between two unforgettable pottery experiences:

  • Paint-Your-Own Pottery: Browse our curated shelves of ready-to-paint ceramics—think mugs, trinket dishes, vases, and seasonal shapes. Our team will guide you through the painting process with pro tips, paint palettes, and ideas. You’ll leave behind your pieces for firing, then pick them up later glazed and gorgeous. Paint your Own Party is $40 per person with a 10 person minimum. We can also come to you! Inquire at Hello@mudhutpotterystudio.com to learn more.

  • Hand-Building with Clay: Using high-quality kiln-free clay, we’ll walk your group through a step-by-step sculpting project like a vase, ring dish, mug, or pinch pot creature. You'll shape, sculpt, and decorate your own creation—perfectly imperfect and full of personality. Projects are designed to be beginner-friendly and all items are stoneware meaning they are dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe when completed. Projects will be ready in four to six weeks.

Throughout your session, you’ll laugh, snack, sip, and get a little messy while making something totally your own. It’s fun, relaxing, and a little therapeutic—trust us, you’ll be hooked. Yes, you can bring in your own food and favorite adult beverages or dirty sodas!

Why we love it for your party:

  • Because basic isn’t your vibe—and we get it

  • It’s artsy without the pressure—no experience needed

  • You can BYO wine, snacks, or even a cake (yes, we have tables!)

  • Everyone creates a handmade keepsake

  • You’ll get plenty of Insta-worthy moments (clay smudges and all)

  • The vibe? Warm, welcoming, and full of good energy!

  • It’s that perfect mix of chill + creative that brings people together and sparks real joy

  • And best of all—you don’t need to know the difference between a pinch pot and a paintbrush to have the best time ever

About this experience partner:

Mud Hut Pottery Studio is a family-owned creative space in Riverside, CA, founded by a mother-and-son duo-Tricia and Chase who believe everyone deserves a place to play with clay, make something meaningful, and escape the ordinary.

Whether you're celebrating a milestone or just want an artful moment with your favorite people, our private event studio is your cozy, creative hideaway.

August 2025 • Group-Trip Party

Booked a beginner session with a group of friends today. It was a fun experience and really informative. Pottery is not easy especially manipulating the clay but Gabe the instructor gave us great instructions and pointers leading us the right directions. My fiance and I did this a while back, back when the company was still in a backyard studio, and we got to choose the glaze for the pottery we made. It seams like this isnt a practice any longer, which is a little disappointing, but I am sure theres a financial reason. This is a fun group activity with your friends, go give this place a try. Youll enjoy it.

SO MUCH FUN!! So much fun and accessible! Took the hand building class with my friend and it was so fun we are coming back again! Love having gems like these close to home! Our instructor was super nice and instructions she gave were easy to follow and she made sure to help who ever needed help which I thought was nice! 10/10 would 100% come again

Really enjoyed both of the classes I’ve taken at Mud Hut! The first one was a travel tumbler hand building session, and I loved how many customization options you have with the different rolling pins and variety of glaze colors. The second class was a pottery wheel class, and I loved that you could build anything you wanted using the skills you just learned. Would 100% recommend - affordable, clear instructors, and super welcoming environment! One small suggestion is to send an intro text after the class to make sure everyone put down the right phone number / have the number Mud Hut will text from, just because sometimes I’ll receive phone calls and I’m not sure if it’s Mud Hut calling.

We had a great time! My friends and I get together to do some sort of activity every 3 or 4 months and we did the beginner pottery wheel class. Gabe was so nice, was super helpful and gave great tips. Pottery is CLEARLY not my calling, but I'm going to do anything class by myself just to make sure. It was a very supportive and welcoming atmosphere.

I have taken several classes at Mud Hut & they all have been great experiences! Gabe & Bryan, instructors, were more than helpful. I appreciate that they push you to try things they know you are capable of. I will probably still take more classes for fun!🎉 I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a new hobby.🤌🏽

My family and I had an amazing time sculpting mini birdhouses for my mom's birthday at Mud Hut. The instructor, Darlene did a great job giving us step by step instructions. She was patient with our group that had a variety of ages and abilities. They have a beautiful space just for private parties. We brought in our own food and drinks. I highly recommend Mud Hut!

This is the best pottery studio ever!!! All of the employees are extremely friendly and thorough. From the minute you walk in, you can tell that everyone there is extremely passionate about the work that they do. Tricia and Chase are some of the best people around🫶🏼 -Babylon Brews
