Pottery + plants = the perfect combo. Sculpt your own plant pot or vase in this beginner-friendly feel-good clay workshop.
About this Event

Let your creativity take root! Join us for a beginner-friendly clay class where you’ll handbuild your own plant pot, vase, or quirky planter pal—no experience needed!

You’ll learn pinch pot and coil techniques with step-by-step guidance from our expert instructor. Expect a chill, joy-filled evening of creativity, clay, and a little friendly competition (yes, there’s optional pottery trivia with prizes!).

You'll leave with 1–3 sculpted pieces made entirely by you to enjoy or to gift!

Bonus: We donate $1 from every ticket to mental health initiatives. Learn more here about which non-profits we’ve given back to so far, and how you can help choose who we support next.

Your ticket includes:

  • Hands-On Instruction: A relaxed, hands-on pottery workshop guided by an experienced host. 
  • Pottery 101: Learn foundational hand-building techniques like pinch pots and coils, then turn them into functional pottery with pieces like mugs, bowls, vases, or planters. We’ll also show you how to add fun touches like handles or texture.
  • All Supplies Provided: We bring the clay, tools, and materials — you just bring yourself. 
  • Beginner-Friendly Vibes: Laid-back, no-pressure energy perfect for first-timers, solo guests, and friend groups alike.
  • Feel-Good Energy: Enjoy a welcoming, community-centered experience hosted at unique local spots — from breweries to plant shops and cozy cafés — that make the experience feel extra special.

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. 

Want to add color? Painting is not included at this workshop. Learn how to sign up for a dedicated Pottery Painting Session at the Pottery With a Purpose Studio in Needham, MA here.
