Pottery Workshops at Castle Island Brewing - South Boston | Boston, MA

• 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.

Kiln Firing Add-On Available for Purchase: Upgrade your creations with optional professional kiln firing + glazing service so your finished piece is food-safe and waterproof. Click here for details, pricing, and purchase.

Here’s what’s on the schedule:

• Beer Tasting + Pottery Making: Sip on a curated selection of beers as you dive into a guided pottery-making experience. Whether you're sculpting a small dish, bowl, or abstract decor, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your unique style.
• Build-a-Boob Pot: This event is the tits! Celebrate body positivity and sculpt your own clay boob pot. Don’t be shy, add body hair, wobbly bits, tattoos, piercings, and those perfect imperfections that make you you. An empowering, fun experience perfect for bachelorettes, birthdays, or just because.
• Ceramic Mug Making: You’ll learn hand-building techniques and shape your own one-of-a-kind clay cup, perfect for coffee, tea, or whatever warms your soul. Bonus: it's just as satisfying to drink from as it is to make!
• Halloween Edition: Get spooky with seasonal clay creations, think ghost tea light holders, pumpkin pinch pots, and other eerie-sistible designs. Costumes optional. Witchy, playful, and perfectly weird vibes required.
• Holiday Edition: Add a little handmade holiday magic with some festive decor or heartfelt gifts made from clay. Make ornaments, candle holders, holiday trays, mini trees, or whatever you dream up. Think cozy, joyful, messy, creative energy.
• Make Your Own Oyster Plate: It’s pottery meets oyster night. In this two-in-one workshop, you’ll hand-build your own ceramic oyster plate and then paint it during the same session, think ocean tones, shell-inspired textures, and beachy color palettes. Perfect for entertaining, gifting, or upgrading your serveware with a coastal-inspired handmade touch.
• Make Your Own Plant Pot or Vase: Calling all plant parents! Sculpt your own custom planter or vase - basic, textured, footed, face-shaped, whatever your vibe. Whether your monstera needs a new home or you’re making a custom vase for your favorite blooms, you'll leave with a pottery piece as unique as your plant baby.
• Sip & Sculpt: Our signature workshop. Unwind with a drink in one hand and clay in the other while you learn the basics of hand-building pottery. Make a planter, ring dish, vase, or whatever your imagination sparks.

P.S.  When you see “On the Patio,” it means we’re taking it outside! Soak up golden hour while you sculpt. If the weather is too rainy or blazing hot, we’ll move indoors, still fun, still clay-filled, just with AC.
