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.
