Private Events
Pottery events are a fun and creative activity for groups wanting to try something new and/or wanting to enjoy the fun feel of clay. The choice of what you would like to create is up to you!
​
A Hand building Party is for those who want to build, design and create a small piece of pottery using air dry clay that does not require firing and means you can take your creation home with you.
​
A Wheel Throwing Party is a fun and challenging adventure where participants get to practice working on a pottery wheel to create a small bowl, vase or trinket plate that can be glazed, fired and picked up in 4-6 weeks.
A skilled instructor will help guide and provide appropriate materials to ensure your creative success.
​
All Ages Welcome.
Adults MUST be present.
Schedule at least one (1) month in advance.
HAND BUILDING PARTY
Join us at the studio for a private clay Hand Building Party! Perfect for all skill levels, these events are designed to guide each participant through their unique creative journey.
​
Depending on your project, you'll learn essential hand-building techniques including pinch, coil, or slab-building. Participants will also learn basic decorating and texturing skills using a variety of in-house tools.
​
Clay Types:
-
Air Dry Clay: Ideal for those who want to take their masterpieces home the same day. This type is ideal for those who want a quick turnaround or who may be hosting guests from out of town who are not able to return and pick up pottery at a later date. (Please note, air dry clay is not suitable for food use.)
-
Non-Air Dry Clay: For those looking to create more durable pieces, we offer classes with a slight upcharge ($10/person) to cover glazing and firing. This option ensures your creation is both food safe and long lasting.
​
Length: 2 Hours
​
Air Dry Clay Cost
2 people: $105 each
3-4 people: $95 each
5-10 people: $85 each
11-15 people: $75 each
POTTERY WHEEL PARTY
Celebrate a birthday, wedding party, anniversary, or simply a fun gathering with friends by getting your hands dirty on the pottery wheel at PPAC! Our private wheel throwing events are packed with laughter, fun, and a little bit of mud - perfect for creating lasting memories with your group.
​
Working on the wheel is both fun and challenging. It requires hand-eye coordination, precise hand placement, and steady control over the swiftly spinning wheel. While perfection isn't the goal, you'll be amazed at the sense of accomplishment when you shape a cylinder from a solid lump of clay using just your hands!
​
The price of the event includes clay, firing and glazing of your creations in the color of your choice. Our instructors will handle the firing process, apply your selected glazes to your pieces, and will fire them again before pickup. Pieces are typically ready for pickup 4-6 weeks after the end of your event.
​
The max number of participants for a wheel throwing party is 6. If you would like to have a mixed hand-building/wheel throwing class, please reach out for specialized pricing.
