We offer pottery, ceramics, and 2D art classes for all ages and skill levels—whether you’re a kid, teen, or adult. For youth, we have year-round after-school memberships, one-off pottery classes, and parent/child pottery sessions. Adults can enjoy one-time classes, 4- and 6-week pottery courses, and 6- and 8-week painting and drawing classes. We also offer ongoing clay memberships, date nights, and private lessons, plus group classes for 4 or more. With a talented team of artists leading the way, we’re here to help you explore your creativity, whether you’re trying something new or honing your skills.

PRIVATE EVENTS

Experience fun and creative pottery events at Pikes Peak Artist Collective, perfect for birthday parties, team-building, or unique group outings. Choose from two pottery party options: Hand-Building Parties, where you can explore techniques like pinch, coil, and slab-building, and take home your creations the same day, or Wheel Throwing Parties, where you’ll work with a pottery wheel to create bowls, vases, and more, with pieces ready for pickup in 4-6 weeks. We also offer craft and painting parties for a fun, creative twist. Private lessons are available by request for a more personalized experience. Submit an event request for custom pricing today! All ages are welcome, with a minimum of 4 participants. Adults must be present, and we recommend scheduling at least a month in advance.

"Sara was a knowledgeable, informative, patient, and FUN instructor during the 6-week beginners' pottery course. I never felt the need to be absolutely perfect, and she allowed us to learn through our own experiences. "

"I had never tried pottery since I was a 3rd grader making snake bowls out of clay. My team at work set up a session as a team building and learning activity. Sara was our leader. I had a fabulous time."
