Events & private gatherings

Clay plans for the group chat.

Come in for a public workshop, or ask about a private clay gathering at our Agawam studio. No pottery résumé required. If you’re new, say so—we’ll point you toward a good place to start.

Want the current dates or details? Ask us directly; we’ll point you to what’s actually available.

Two ways to get muddy

Pick your kind of clay day.

Wheel experiences, handbuilding, seasonal projects, and special events are part of the mix. Most workshops are beginner-friendly. You can ask questions before you pick one—no secret pottery vocabulary test.

01Open to the public

Public workshops

Try a wheel experience, build by hand, or see what’s on the seasonal calendar. Ask us for the current listing and the details for the event you have in mind.

Ask what’s coming up
02Start with an inquiry

Private events

Birthday, team get-together, family hang, or something with no neat label. Tell us the occasion and a rough group size; we’ll confirm what’s workable and share the details before you decide.

New to clay? You’re in the right place.

Curious is plenty to start with.

You don’t need to arrive with experience or a plan for the perfect pot. Ask what each event involves, tell us what sounds fun, and we’ll help you sort out whether it’s a fit.

Build belonging through clay.That’s the point—not getting every rim perfectly round on the first go.

Simple start

A quick note beats guesswork.

Whether you’re eyeing a public workshop or gathering a group, we’ll get the specifics straight before you make plans.

01 / SEND A NOTE

Tell us the idea.

For a private event, a rough headcount, a couple of date ideas, and wheel / handbuilding / “not sure yet” is a helpful start.

02 / TALK OPTIONS

We’ll check the fit.

We’ll confirm what’s currently possible and explain the format and terms for that specific event.

03 / DECIDE TOGETHER

Then make a plan.

No mystery booking button. You’ll have the details you need before you decide whether to book.

Public workshop or private crew?

Tell us what you’re picturing.

Send a note about the kind of clay time you’re after. We’ll help with the current details—without asking you to guess at dates, prices, or pottery jargon.

An inquiry is a conversation, not a booking. Availability, pricing, capacity, format, and inclusions are confirmed directly with the studio.
