Step out of your comfort zone and explore new skills with a 3-hour clay experience. During your session, you and your team (a maximum of 12 participants per classroom) will get to learn the basics of working clay; learning to work on a pottery wheel or hand-building a coil and slab vessel. Our professional teaching-artists will demonstrate the skills needed and will individually support your team members as they explore the joy of clay. Open to Office Teams, Birthday or Family Reunions, Bachelor or Bachelorette Party, Brownie and Girl Scout Troops to name but a few.
Each participating member will be able to finish 1 to 3 pieces and select the glaze(s) they would like for each. The teaching-artists will take care of the rest! Completed pieces will be available for pick up between 5-8 weeks from the completed session. Calendar options and instructor availability are limited. Ready to book or want more information?

Baltimore Clayworks is a non-profit ceramics institution dedicated to building a welcoming and creative community where all people can access and experience joy through clay.
