Whether you come for the joy of making, the community, or a mindful tech-free moment, this guided clay workshop is all about having fun while you sip and socialize.Dive into hand-building your own one-of-a-kind ceramic coffee mugs or espresso cups. With step-by-step guidance from an expert Pottery with a Purpose host, you’ll learn pottery basics, how to create and decorate ceramic mugs, and how to add handles and surface designs that make each piece uniquely yours. Perfect for date night, catching up with friends, or coming solo to meet new people.

Your ticket includes:
- Hands-On Instruction: A relaxed, hands-on pottery workshop guided by an experienced host.

- Beginner-Friendly Vibes: Laid-back, no-pressure energy perfect for first-timers, solo guests, and friend groups alike.

Ceramic Clay Upgrade Add On (available for additional purchase): We'll take one of your pieces back to our studio where our studio pros will glaze and fire your pieces to make them waterproof and food-safe. Then, we'll ship your pieces back to you when they're finished, in 6-8 weeks. One add-on per piece required.
