Date Night on the Wheel

Looking for a creative, hands-on date night idea? Come spin the wheel — literally! In this fun and relaxed pottery class, you and your partner will share a wheel and learn the art of wheel throwing side by side. It’s messy, playful, and the perfect way to connect, laugh, and create something together.

Our instructor will guide you through each step — from preparing the clay and centering it on the wheel, to shaping your first small bowl or cup. No experience needed — just bring your favorite drink, a good sense of humor, and a willingness to get a little muddy!

Each ticket includes tools, clay, and guided instruction. This class focuses on the experience and learning process rather than creating a finished, fired piece — though you might leave with a greenware keepsake (a decorative, unfired piece).

To finish your pottery with glaze and make it food-safe, you can return for our follow-up class, “Paint Your Own Pottery,” available three days or more after your session.

• 
  Each ticket is valid for one person. Couples must purchase two tickets to share a wheel.
• 
  Glazing and firing are optional add-ons (Bisque fire $5 per piece, glazing from $10 per piece).
• 
  BYOB — bring your favorite wine or beer to enjoy during class! 🍷
