Workshops For Everyone
These workshops are designed for everyone, whether you’re coming with friends, planning a date night, bringing the family, or simply spending some time doing something creative. Each workshop features a seasonally rotating project that is approachable for beginners and still fun for experienced makers, all completed in a single visit.
Attendance Guidelines
• Ages 7 and under: An adult must stay and assist. Adults only need a ticket if making their own piece.
• Ages 8 to 14: An adult must remain for the full workshop. Adults are welcome to purchase a ticket and join in.
• Ages 15 and up: May attend without an adult.
Seating is limited for our workshops. Out of consideration for our studio members, please ensure that only enrolled students, or individuals assisting younger children, attend the workshop.
Specialty
At 24hr Pottery, we love offering workshops that help everyone grow as artists and explore new ways of working with clay. Our specialty workshops focus on a specific project or technique, giving you the chance to learn new skills and add innovative techniques to your creative toolkit. We offer specialty workshops for both beginners and those with prior ceramic experience, with each session limited to 10 students for plenty of individual guidance.
Members Only
Seatown Pottery offers monthly, member-exclusive workshops designed to support all skill levels and interests. Held at any of our locations, these small-group sessions provide personalized guidance, opportunities to learn from skilled instructors, and space to connect with fellow members.
Alternative Firings
Experience the process of Raku in our hands-on workshop, where you glaze and fire your own bisque pieces using traditional methods. For those curious about unique surface finishes and experimental kiln techniques, this is a chance to see how alternative firings differ from the traditional approach and try them for yourself. Bring up to four bisqued pieces, choose from a selection of Raku glazes, and watch your pottery transform through fire-driven effects.
Share snacks and conversation as we gather around the kiln, talk about the craft, and enjoy the moment your work emerges from the fire. You will leave with your finished pieces the same day.
