Wednesday's Kids Club After school fun

We can also arrange to come to your pre-school or other location. After reading a story, the children can decorate a themed ceramics item. We take it back to our shop, add a clear glaze and fire it in our kiln. We'll arrange to deliver it back to your site for the kids to take how.

Project Fun
   

First Friday of every month

Drop your children off for a pottery and pizza party. You may leave them with us, and they'll each paint a different pottery project each month! A special project, pizza, drinks and supervision while you have a couple of hours to yourself!

Appointments recommended for larger groups (6 or more artists).

Peac, Love and Pottery Fun!
   

Peace, Love and Pottery

Gather your friends and create some cool projects together. $35 per person, reservations required.

   

Ice Cream Social Party

The children will decorate their own special ice cream dish. After we glaze and fire it in our kilns, have an ice cream social, where they eat out of their finished ceramic bowl. Don't forget the ice cream!

$15 per artist includes the bowl, colored glazes and supplies, final dipping and kiln firing, plus staff instruction.

 
   

School Projects

As a class project, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. Our enthusiastic, well-trained staff will help you decide what's right for your particular needs. We can even travel to your classroom with supplies for the project. Call to set up time for your students now!

Studying Southwestern Culture... how about creating tiles with a Southwestern theme? Is your class studying Medieval England? You might re-create a family crest on goblets or mug. If studying Astronomy, have your students map out different constellations or planets on plates. Celebrate Spring by painting flower pots and planting seeds that will sprout flowers and decorate your classroom.
