Join us in the ceramics studio for a relaxed, hands-on Pick & Paint pottery experience, perfect for beginners and creatives of all ages.

Choose a bisque-fired ceramic piece from our available inventory and bring it to life with glaze. Once finished, your piece will be professionally fired in our kiln, transforming it into a durable, food-safe, and beautifully finished item you can use or display at home.

This class is an easy, low-pressure way to enjoy pottery without working directly with wet clay. No mess, no wheel, just creativity. Whether you’re looking to unwind, try something new, or make something meaningful, Pick & Paint is a fun and satisfying way to get hands-on in the studio.
