Experience the pottery wheel for the first time in our Sip & Center class—a relaxing, hands-on introduction to wheel throwing. Join us Friday nights at 6 PM or Saturday mornings at 10 AM for two hours of expert instruction in our modern, welcoming studio. You'll work with up to 3 pounds of clay, with all tools and materials provided. Enjoy a complimentary beverage while you create (we have wine, coffee, and more). No experience needed—just bring your curiosity. Select your glaze color at the end of class, and we'll fire your pieces and notify you when they're ready for pickup in 4-6 weeks. Reserve your spot for a creative morning or evening out!

Add an hour of open studio time (parent supervised) to customize their creation with underglaze before it heads to the kiln.

Get into the holiday spirit and build a full-size ceramic gingerbread house from scratch! This two-part workshop meets Thursday and Friday evening, 5:30–7:30pm, giving you plenty of hands-on time to construct, decorate, and detail your very own sculptural centerpiece.
All clay, glazes, tools, and up to two hours of open studio time are included! Please note that ceramics need time to dry, fire, and glaze-fire, so finished pieces will be ready for pickup in 4–6 weeks.
No experience necessary — all skill levels welcome!
