Pottery Handbuilding Events

A fun, creative experience for your group, perfect for events like corporate retreats, birthdays, or family gatherings in Irvine, CA or the greater Orange County area.

Our pottery handbuilding events are designed to bring a creative and hands-on experience right to your space. We come fully prepared, bringing all the materials needed for each participant to craft their own unique pottery piece. Whether you’re looking to make a cup, bowl, vase, plate, or sculpture, our instructors guide everyone step-by-step through the process, ensuring a fun and relaxing experience.

We handle all setup and cleanup, so you can focus on enjoying the event. All we need is a space with tables and chairs. After the class, participants will select their glaze color, and we take care of the firing and glazing process, which takes about 2-3 weeks. Once the pieces are ready, we’ll deliver them back to you, fully finished, food-safe, and ready to use.

How It Works

1

Book Your Event

Email us at [email protected] to schedule your pottery event. Tell us about your space (does it have tables/chairs) and approximately how many attendees. We will ask for a 30% deposit to reserve the date.

2

Day of Event

We will bring all the tools and materials necessary for the event to your space and arrive 1 hour prior to the event start time to set up. We facilitate the handbuilding event and guide participants in making and decorating their own unique pottery piece. After the event, we help you take a group picture of you and your pieces, then we bring the pieces back to our studio for firing and glazing.

Glazing & Delivery

We fire and glaze the pottery, and deliver the finished pieces back to you in about 2 weeks.
