Private Handbuilding Party!

  • Got a birthday or other celebration coming up? Book your party at clayhouse for a fun-filled day and come away with one of a kind mementos!

    • Choose from any of our walk-in projects and we’ll provide clay, tools and instruction!

    • Central island/bar provided for decorations, food, drinks and treats

    • Parties up to 25 people

  • Please reach out to Jen via the ‘book now!’ link below to discuss availability and schedule your party!

  • Party costs are calculated based on the walk-in project you choose using the formula below:

    Walk-in Project Cost X Number of Guests = Total Party Cost

    Ex: Mug ($28) X Guests (10) = $280

    NOTE: If booking a party during a time window when Clayhouse is normally closed, an additional fee of $50/hr applies.

  • Q: Is there an age limit for hand-building parties?

    A: Nope! Kids and teens are welcome, however we do request that there be at least one adult present for every six children to assist with supervision and safety

    Q: When can we pick up our pieces?

    A: Typically your pieces will be ready for pick up in about two weeks. We recommend calling or stopping by to check on their status after about 14 days!

Private Wheel Party!

  • Invite some friends for a spin on the wheel!

    This fun introduction to the potter’s wheel is perfect for complete beginners as well as those with a little experience. Parties can be booked for up to 5 participants and include:

    • Hands-on instruction and guidance through creating your first pieces on the wheel (parties typically run about 1 to 1.5hrs including clean-up time)

    • We can center your clay for you if desired (the kinda tricky bit) so you can have fun with the rest of the creative process!

    • Trimming and glazing of one piece per person is included! Just pick out a glaze before you leave and we’ll take care of the rest! Finished pieces are typically ready for pick-up in 2-3 weeks

  • Wheel Parties are available during the following time windows. Please reach out to our wheel instructor Amanda using the ‘book now!’ button below to schedule your party!

    Tuesday: 10:30-7pm
    Wednesday: 10:30-2:30pm
    Saturday: 10:30-2:30pm
    Sunday: 10:30-2:30pm

  • Parties of 4 or 5

    $65 per person (clay/trimming for additional pieces can be added for $10/each)

    Parties of 3 or less

    $75 per person (clay/trimming for additional pieces can be added for $10/each)

  • Q: Is there an age limit for wheel parties?

    A: Nope! Kids and teens are welcome, however we do request that there be at least one adult participant in each party to assist with supervision and safety.

    NOTE: Pottery wheels are machines with fast moving parts and are potentially dangerous if operated irresponsibly. While we don’t set an age limit for our private parties, our recommended age range is 8+.

    Q: Can we trim and/or glaze our own pieces?

    A: Yes! Because of the additional instruction required for these steps, trimming and glazing sessions need to be booked separately. Trimming sessions follow the same format as wheel parties (time and cost). Glazing sessions are $30/hr per person and are recommended if you’d like to get creative with more decorative designs and glaze combinations!

    Q: Can we book a wheel party if we’re just visiting the area?

    A: Definitely! We can ship your finished pieces to you if you’re not local!
