Claydate: Tableware!

A playdate, with clay.

For the first time…this is a two-part Claydate!!! We’ll make tableware for our perfect dinner party…then we’ll meet up at the end of the month to order takeout (bring your own food or order when you get here, food is not included) and plate them on our OWN TABLEWARE (how freaking cool is that). We can see how everyone’s pieces turned out and share a very special meal in our own bowls/plates/bowls/cups. Don’t miss out!

The date of the takeout dinner gathering will be coordinated with the attending group, based on the kiln firing schedule!

You will have the option to paint it (9 different ceramic paints, 6 different glaze colors to choose from). Instruction, materials, 2 kiln firings, hand-glazing services, drinks, & snacks all included; great to come to solo or with friends. Beginners encouraged!

All finished pieces are food-safe, microwave-safe, and even oven-safe! Instruction by Aubrey Aiese.

$135 per person

Limited spots!

More Details:

  • 15-20 mins of demonstration on basic clay hand-building techniques. These include slab building, pinch pots, and coil building. Then you’re free to build whatever you’d like with provided clay.

    Hand building is a super versatile way of working with clay – you’re not restricted to only round objects, as you might be on a wheel

    Unlike many other ceramic workshops in the city, we allow you to both paint your pieces in the same day (9 different ceramic paint colors) and choose between multiple glaze colors (6 different solid glaze colors)

    The instructor will be available to help, answer questions, and show any custom demos you’d like (for example if you are trying to build something specific).

    • Unlimited white stoneware clay to make as many pieces as you’d like to keep

    • Variety of shared tools 

    • Variety of ceramic underglaze paints (these are specialty paints that survive high temperature kiln firings, great for adding patterns, illustrations, text, etc.)

    • Glaze application services (choose among several great glaze colors to add the final custom touch to your art piece!)

    • Bisque firing service and related fees

    • Glaze firing service and related fees

    • Unlimited white stoneware clay to make as many pieces as you’d like to keep

    • An assortment of avory snacks & sweet snacks

    • Enjoy our tea station!

    **Please reach out at least 48 hours in advance if you have dietary restrictions or allergies that require accommodations.**

What makes workshops at Drawing Room unique: This isn’t just a workshop or a class – it’s a whole experience. While we provide all the materials and techniques for lasting pieces, we also carefully curate the setting, music, food, and drink to make it an immersive experience that brings people together and encourages a creative-social experience. Make a special memory 💕

And, because Drawing Room is a space that is centered around community-building – which we believe requires consistency – all our workshops come with one All-Day Pass to our Open Hours (during a day of your choice!) because we’d like to see you back here! Open Hours are meant for you to enjoy our community space like a second home – read, lounge, drink unlimited tea/coffee, mingle, and more. You will receive your free voucher during the event!
