About this Event
Looking for a creative and screen-free early release day activity in Needham, MA? Our Early Release Day Pottery Workshops are the perfect hands-on experience for kids in grades 1–9 to explore real ceramic clay art while having fun with friends in a welcoming studio setting.
Each single-day drop-off class includes a themed project (theme noted in the event title), where kids and teens will learn beginner-friendly hand-building pottery techniques using ceramic clay. Every child will create and decorate functional pottery pieces, which we kiln-fire and glaze to be waterproof and food-safe — ready to use, gift, or proudly display at home!
What's included:
- Hands-On Pottery Workshop: Each session is guided by an experienced pottery instructor in a fun, pressure-free environment.
- Pottery 101: Kids and teens will learn foundational hand-building techniques like pinch pots, coils, slab work, and more.
- All Materials + Tools Provided: We supply everything even aprons! Kids and teens take home up to 2 pottery pieces (after firing + glazing).
- Fully Fired + Glazed Pieces: All pieces are kiln-fired and glazed to be waterproof, food-safe, and long-lasting.
- Creative + Social Vibes: Drop-off sessions are always beginner-friendly. They are relaxed, upbeat, and a great way to build confidence while getting messy with clay.
Note: Finished pieces are ready for pick-up 4–6 weeks after class. We hold items for 30 days after notifying you. We require a minimum of 3 kids to run a session. If your selected date doesn’t reach the minimum, we’ll offer a refund or free transfer to another session. You will be notified 4 days before the workshop date if it is canceled.
