Unplug, unwind, and make something by hand at our feel-good pottery workshop — no experience needed. Whether you come for the joy of making, the community, or a mindful tech-free moment, this guided clay workshop is all about having fun while you sip and socialize. Perfect for a clay date, catching up with friends, or coming solo to meet new people.
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, coils, slab work, and more.
- All Supplies Provided: We bring the clay, tools, and materials — you just bring yourself. You'll make up to 2 pottery pieces during class, plus take home your extra clay for more DIY fun.
- Beginner-Friendly Vibes: These workshops are beginner-friendly, relaxed, upbeat, and a great way to build confidence while getting messy with clay.
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. Painting your pottery is not part of the workshop unless otherwise noted.
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.
Make Your Own Plant Pot or Vase: Calling all plant parents! 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.
