Get ready to add a pop of color to your pottery! Our Pottery Painting Sessions are your chance to slow down, unplug, and give your pottery piece some personality. Bring a pottery piece you've made at one of our workshops, a creation from your at-home pottery kit, or buy a piece from our shelf of ready-to-paint pottery.
We’ll supply the paintbrushes, underglazes (aka paint for ceramics), and inspo — you supply the creativity. Once you’re done, our team will glaze + kiln-fire your masterpiece so it’s glossy, durable, and ready to show off, use (or 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 pick who we support next.
- A Refreshing Drink: Enjoy a complimentary non-alcoholic beverage from our curated selection.
- Pottery Painting 101: Our fab host will introduce how to use different paint brushes and tools with underglaze, then set you free to decorate your piece your way using our vibrant underglazes!
- Materials Provided: We supply 15+ underglaze colors, paintbrushes, and a variety of other tools and materials — you just bring yourself and the pottery piece you want to paint...or buy a piece from our selection of premade pieces!
- Glazing + Kiln Firing: Our team will glaze + kiln-fire one of your pottery pieces in clear so it is glossy, durable, waterproof & food-safe. Pieces will be ready for pickup in 4-6 weeks. Shipping is available for an additional fee.
- Beginner-Friendly Vibes: Laid-back, no-pressure energy perfect for first-timers, solo guests, families and friend groups alike.
- Feel-Good Energy: Enjoy a welcoming, community-centered experience hosted at our flagship pottery studio in Needham, MA.
Pottery Painting Session: Think of this as coloring… but with pottery. In this 2-hour paint-your-own pottery session, we’ll walk you through the basics of underglaze (aka paint for pottery) and glaze, then let you play with colors, patterns and different tools to make your pottery piece your own. Bring a piece you’ve made at one of our workshops or with our at-home kit... or choose from our selection of premade pottery pieces (priced separately). We’ll glaze and fire it so it comes back glossy, durable as well as waterproof and food-safe — ready for sipping, snacking, or showing off.
