Why Claydates at Drawing Room?

  • Make your dream ceramic objects

    Feel the earth, play with clay, and get your hands a little dirty! We provide everything you need to create exactly what you’re dreaming.

    Unlike many other ceramic workshops in the city, we provide 9 different ceramic underglaze (paint) colors in addition to unlimited clay. Make as many pieces as you want during the workshop!

    We’d recommend coming with some inspo or designs of what you’re hoping to make so you can hit the ground running after our demos!

  • Professional instruction & care

    Professional, beginner-friendly instruction provided by our wonderful host Aubrey Aiese. All pieces go through 2 kiln firings, and are hand glazed with love. Finished pieces are food-safe, microwave-safe, and even oven-safe!

  • Emphasis on connection

    Claydates are more than just clay workshops. At Drawing Room we’re all about connection through creativity. These are great to come to solo or with friends; we all gather around shared tables to chat and have a great time.

What to expect

  • 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.

    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. Time is your only limitation!

    • Variety of shared tools 

    • 9 colors 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

  • Enjoy our loose-leaf tea station and some light cookies!

At Drawing Room, we believe well-designed experiences can create a certain magic. Magic that facilitates deeper connections, memories, and joy. Each member of our team cares deeply about creating this magic!

We not only provide all the materials and techniques you’ll need for your creations, but also curated music, setting, refreshments, and more to make it an immersive experience. Make a special memory at Drawing Room!
