Unplug, unwind, and make something by hand at our feel-good pottery night — no experience needed. Whether you come for the joy of making, the community, or the craft beer, this guided clay workshop is all about having fun while you sip and socialize. You’ll learn pottery basics and leave with a one-of-a-kind piece (or two) you built by hand, plus the option to have your work professionally fired and glazed so it’s functional, food-safe, and waterproof.
Perfect for date night, catching up with friends, or coming solo to meet new people. Just pick the date and theme that fits your vibe in the drop-down menu.
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.
- 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.
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.
Want to add color? Painting is not included at this workshop. You can sign up here for a dedicated Pottery Painting Session at the Pottery With a Purpose Studio in Needham MA.
We rotate themes so there’s always something new to create. Join us again and again to grow your pottery skills and try new projects!
Here’s what’s on the schedule:
- 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.
- Clay 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 to your season by sculpting functional festive decor or heartfelt gifts from clay. Make ornaments, candle holders, holiday trays, mini trees, or whatever you dream up. Think cozy, joyful, messily creative energy, because the best gifts are always the ones you make yourself.
- 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: Calling all plant parents: this one’s for you. Sculpt your own custom planter, basic, textured, footed, face-shaped, whatever your vibe. Whether your monstera needs a new home or your cactus wants an upgrade, you'll leave with a pot 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.
