DROP-INS & SPECIAL EVENTS

Come as you are, bring a friend (or make a new one here), and spend some time creating together. Our drop-in sessions and special events are all about community, connection, and the joy of making. Whether you’re painting, assembling a craft, or trying a new medium for the first time, these gatherings are relaxed, social, and open to all skill levels. It’s less about perfection and more about enjoying the process — and walking away with something you made by hand.

    Not ready to dive into a full pottery course? Come get your hands dirty in our drop in wheel throwing class—a perfect little taste of clay without the long-term commitment.

    In this 2.5 hour session, you’ll learn the basics of throwing by making something on the wheel. No experience needed—just bring your curiosity (and maybe a sense of humor). We’ll walk you through the process, help you shape your piece, and make sure you leave with muddy hands and a big grin.

    When your piece is complete, you’ll choose a glaze colour and leave the rest to us. We’ll handle the finishing touches—firing and glazing—so all you have to do is come back and pick it up.

    This class is great for singles, pairs, or groups of friends. Spaces are limited to 10 spots per session, so snag your seat early!
