Valentine’s Day Workshop for Two: Pottery Mug Making

Valentine’s Day Workshop for Two: Pottery Mug Making

Start your Valentine’s celebration with a glass of champagne, cozy studio vibes, and a hands-on pottery experience designed for two 🤍

This shared ceramic workshop is designed for two people — perfect for couples, friends, or anyone who wants to celebrate connection through creativity this Valentine’s season. It’s an invitation to slow down, get your hands into clay, and enjoy a meaningful, tactile art-making experience together in a festive and intimate studio setting.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed with a glass of champagne and snacks, setting the tone for a relaxed and celebratory experience. The atmosphere is cozy, warm, and intentionally unrushed — a creative way to mark Valentine’s Day beyond the usual plans.

During the session, you’ll work side by side to hand-build your own ceramic mugs (or plates or bowls), exploring form, texture, and personal style. You may choose to create matching pieces, complementary designs, or completely individual ceramics. The process is guided yet open-ended, allowing space for personal expression, shared moments, and creative freedom.

No prior pottery experience is needed. This workshop is beginner-friendly and focused on presence, playfulness, and connection rather than perfection. All materials are included, along with champagne, wine, and curated snacks, so you can fully relax and immerse yourself in the creative process.

Once your pieces are complete, we take care of the entire firing and glazing process for you. Your ceramics will be professionally finished and ready to be enjoyed long after the workshop ends — a lasting keepsake from a meaningful experience shared together.
