Looking for a date night that's a little different? Join us for a hands-on wheel throwing pottery experience designed for two.
During this 2.5-hour workshop, you'll share a pottery wheel with your partner as you learn the basics of wheel throwing together. Inspired by the iconic pottery scene from Ghost (minus the dramatic soundtrack), you'll take turns shaping clay, cheering each other on, and creating memories along the way.
No experience is needed. Our instructor will guide you through every step, making the process approachable, fun, and beginner-friendly. Expect a little mess, plenty of laughs, and a unique experience you'll be talking about long after class ends.
Each couple can create two pottery pieces total (one per person) to be professionally kiln-fired, glazed, and finished after class. Your finished pottery will be ready for pickup or shipping approximately 6-8 weeks later. Please note, pottery is an art, and pieces may

- Hands-On Instruction: A relaxed, guided pottery class led by an experienced instructor — no pressure, just encouragement.
- A Shared Pottery Wheel Experience: Channel your inner Ghost as you and your date share a pottery wheel and learn the fundamentals of wheel throwing together. You'll take turns centering, shaping, and creating with clay while making memories along the way.
- Two Pottery Pieces Per Couple: Each couple can create up to two pottery pieces total (one per person) to be professionally glazed and kiln-fired after class.
- All Supplies Provided: Clay, wheels, tools — we've got it all. Aprons are available to protect your clothes, but we recommend wearing something you don't mind getting a little muddy.
- Glazing + Kiln Firing: Our team will glaze + kiln-fire your pottery pieces in clear so it is glossy, durable, waterproof & food-safe. Pieces will be ready for pickup in 6-8 weeks. Interested in adding color? Guests can return for a future painting session. Shipping is available for an additional fee here.
- Beginner-Friendly Vibes: Laid-back, no-pressure energy perfect for first-timers, solo guests, and friend groups alike.
The Experience Comes First - Pottery is an inherently unpredictable art form, and pieces can occasionally crack or break during the drying, firing, or glazing process. While we'll do our best to ensure success, finished pieces cannot be guaranteed. We encourage guests to come for the experience of creating together, with any finished pottery serving as a special keepsake from the evening.
