About this Experience
What you’ll do:
You and your group spend three hours at the wheel together, centering clay, shaping it by hand, and watching your piece take form under your own fingers.
Wheel Demo - your instructor shows the group the basics of centering and shaping clay before you start.
Hands-On Throwing - you sit at your own wheel and shape your own piece, with help whenever you need it.
Sip While You Spin - enjoy coffee or a house-made cocktail while you work.
Pick Your Piece - choose your favorite creation (or creations) to keep from the session.
Choose Your Glaze - pick from a range of glaze colors before the studio fires your piece.
The studio is yours for the full three hours, so there’s no rushing and no sharing wheels with strangers.
Why we love it for your celebration:
Private Studio - your group gets the whole space, up to 14 guests, with no one else around.
Everyone at a Wheel - every guest works their own wheel, so no one sits on the sidelines.
Coffee and Cocktails - sip drinks and snacks while you create.
Built-In Photo Op - the wheel makes for some of the best candid shots of the trip.
Pieces to Keep - take home something handmade that lasts well past the day.
