Claydate: Tableware (ice cream edition!!)

  • Drawing Room 247 West 30th Street, 9R New York, NY, 10001 United States (map)

A playdate, with clay.

A two-part Claydate!!! We’ll make tableware for our perfect dinner party/ice cream social…then we’ll meet up at the end of the month to order takeout and eat ice cream in 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.

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.

$129 per person (Limited early bird tickets available for $117)

Limited spots!

(The second gathering – the dinner party/ice cream social – is totally optional; you can pick up your pieces separately, if preferred and use your included Open Hour pass at a date of your choosing. The date of the second gathering (should you choose to attend) is Wed, Aug 14th @ 6:30-8:30pm)

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

    • Some light snacks like cookies and nuts

    • Enjoy our loose-leaf tea station!

What makes workshops at Drawing Room unique: Our mission is to build community through creativity. Every aspect was thoughtfully designed to facilitate connections over shared purpose – the space, ambiance, music, activity, refreshments, etc. Come experience the magic of Drawing Room!
