Pottery Escape is a shared, hands-on ceramic experience designed for two people — perfect for couples, friends, or anyone looking to connect through creativity. This workshop invites you to slow down, get your hands into clay, and enjoy a meaningful, tactile art-making experience together.
During the session, you’ll work side by side to hand-build your own ceramic mugs ( or plates, bowls) , exploring form, texture, and personal style. Whether you choose to create matching pieces, complementary designs, or completely individual mugs, the process is guided yet open-ended, allowing space for both structure and creative freedom.
No prior pottery experience is needed. The workshop is beginner-friendly and focused on enjoyment, presence, and connection. Everything is included, as well as light snacks and drinks — so you can fully immerse yourself in the creative process.
All materials are provided, and once your pieces are complete, we take care of the firing & glazing process so your mugs are properly finished and ready to be enjoyed long after the workshop ends.
