Class Description

Description

Are you looking for cute date ideas or fun things to do in New York City? Check out this beginners' pottery class, where you'll learn how to hand-build your own pinch pot.

With step-by-step guidance from a professional artist, you will use your hands and pressure to transform a ball of clay into a work of art. This is a hand-building pottery class, so you'll have plenty of opportunity to enjoy the tranquil feeling of sinking your hands into cool, squishy clay. While also being able to carry on a conversation.

Nothing beats drinking your coffee or tea in the morning from a handmade cup, and it's even better when you've made it yourself! Your completed object will be glazed, and you can pick it up from the pottery studio one week later.

Please note works are kept for a maximum of three weeks from the date of your class.

What you'll get

  • A completed object (to be glazed and picked up one week later).

Knowledge required

  • Perfect for beginners.

What to bring

  • No requirements.

Suitable for

  • This class is great for individuals and couples as well as for a date idea, team building activity, birthday or bachelorette party.
  • Suitable for adults, and kids (minimum 7 years old).
  • An adult must accompany any attending kids, and must pay for a separate ticket.

This experience would also be a fun gift for her, gift for mom or gift for couples.

Note:

We are excited to share the joy of clay with you! Please note that when you book a class with us, you are paying for the instructional experience, studio time, materials, and the guidance of our instructors, rather than a guaranteed finished product. 

Ceramics is an unpredictable art form that goes through many stages—from shaping and drying to complex bisque and glaze firings. While we do our very best to guide your pieces safely through the kiln, ceramics can occasionally crack, warp, or break during the firing process due to natural physical properties.

Complimentary Firing: As a complimentary part of the class experience, we include the firing and glazing for one piece per person (selected by you at the end of the session).

No Guarantees: Because of the inherent risks involved in firing pottery, finished pieces are not guaranteed, and studio fees are non-refundable in the rare event that a piece is damaged during the firing process.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to getting our hands dirty with the creative process together!

Refund Policy

No refunds, but can reschedule if student notifies us more than 24 hours before class.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
