Pick it up

More than pottery

Hand building in the studio, a ball of clay to take home, and small wheel-throwing classes.

Layer colorful cut glass into jewelry, ornaments, sun-catchers, night lights, plates and dishes.

Private, formal or informal parties, party kits to go, and team building for your staff.

Choose your pottery, we pack a paint kit with everything you need, and you paint at home.

Your wedding invitation on a platter, gifts for any occasion, showers, and hand print keepsakes.

Therapy Night every Tuesday and Thursday night, plus specialty clay, glass and painting classes.

For the holidays

Want your very own vintage ceramic Christmas tree, or a lantern carved with your name? Order it, then come in and paint it.

Open 7 days a week

Reservations highly recommended for weekends, days off from school, holidays and bad weather.

We will close early if no reservation is booked for the last slot.

Perfect for all ages

We offer gift certificates. They can be purchased in the studio, by email or by giving us a call.
