Elf

This is a hand building project where the participant will use pinch pot techniques to make a jolly elf.

Mythological Creatures

Always a favorite project for the kids–using hand building techniques, participants will create something out of their imagination.

Monsters

By turning a pinch pot on its side, participants will make monsters. Will they have teeth, horns or a snake tongue?

Animal Pinch Pots

A popular workshop for the Spring/Summer. They’ll create a pinch pot planter to resemble their favorite animal–real or imaginary!

Birthday Party Information

  • Contact us by filling out the 'inquire here' form and we will get back to you via email.
  • No food and drink is allowed in the classroom--for birthday party cake, we recommend giving out cupcakes and/or goody bags to take with them, when the adults arrive for pickup.
  • You may even come in at 10:15 am to decorate the space!
  • After we have confirmed your date and time, we are all set! The week of your event, we will confirm the expected number of participants and send you an invoice via email, to pay online, for the full party amount. This is due 72 hours prior to your event.
  • Remind the parents that partygoers should not wear their best clothes, getting messy is half the fun!
  • We will have an Instructor designated for your party. All project will measure approximately 4″x4″. We will even do the clean up–the kids are also welcome to help with clean up!
  • Our kiln managers will then dry and fire the project. This process takes 3 weeks to properly dry and fire the works. After 3 weeks, stop in to pick up the projects!
  • Any cancellations within 48 hours of the event, requires a cancellation fee of $70. This fee is to partially reimburse the Center for administration costs, prep time and our Instructor’s time.
