Clay-Date Pottery Wheel Throwing Workshop
Spend 2.5 hours in the studio learning the art of wheel throwing in a private workshop designed for two people. Whether you're trying pottery for the first time, looking for a unique date experience, or simply want to see who can create the best bowl, this workshop is a fun and creative way to connect through clay.
You’ll be guided step by step through the fundamentals of wheel throwing, learning techniques to help you create your own unique ceramic pieces. By the end of the session, you'll leave with new skills, memorable moments, and a handmade creation to be proud of.
After your workshop, your piece will be carefully trimmed, glazed in a colour of your choice, and kiln-fired. Finished pieces are typically ready within approximately four weeks. You will receive an email notification when your pottery is ready for pickup, and shipping can be arranged for an additional fee if required.
No previous experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to get your hands dirty. All clay, tools, and materials are provided, and aprons are available. We recommend wearing clothing you don’t mind getting a little clay on; pottery can get messy, but the clay washes out easily.

Workshop FAQs
Is there an age limit?
Yes. Our wheel throwing courses are for ages 19+, while our private workshops are open to participants aged 15+.
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer classes for anyone under 15 years of age due to the requirements of our liability insurance.
If you're unsure which workshop is suitable, please get in touch—we're happy to help.
How many people can attend wheel throwing workshops?
The wheel throwing workshops are for 3 people as we are limited by the number of wheels in the studio. The workshops must have 2 people booked to take place.
How many people can attend Paint nights and handbuilding workshops?
The Squamish workshops are for a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 people due to space. The studio is cozy but can comfortably accommodate 6 people to spread out and create. If you are looking for a workshop for more than 6 people please contact direct and we can discuss options.
What happens if I book a workshop but the minimum number of attendees isn't reached?
In the event that the minimum number of attendees is not reached by the cut off date ( 2 days prior to the workshop) you will be notified by email and will receive a full refund or the opportunity to move to a future date.
Where is it located?
The workshops take place in the Squamish studio unless stating otherwise. The address will be emailed to you once registered.
What time of day are the workshops?
Each workshop will have the time displayed in the description. Most workshops are planned for after-work hours.
Is there parking?
There is street parking available in the surrounding area. Please ensure to check signage where you park as some areas are 2 hour parking.
When can I collect my piece?
For handbuilding and "Date-night" workshops your piece will be ready 3 to 4 weeks after. It takes this long due to drying time. The piece has to be fully dry before firing, then glazed and second fired. You will be emailed once your masterpiece is ready!
For mug painting your piece will be ready one week after the event.
For the wheel workshops your pieces should be ready 1 week after the last class and you have 2 weeks to collect your work.
What if I turn up late?
The front door will be locked once the workshop has begun. Please allow plenty of time to arrive, you are welcome in to the studio 15 minutes prior to the workshop starting.
What if I need to cancel/ reschedule?
We understand that sometimes life gets in the way. For all 1 time workshops We offer cancellation up to 48hrs prior (with full refund minus a $10 processing fee) Please email to cancel with as much notice possible. Rescheduling is possible if there is space in another workshop.
For the series workshops (beginner wheel throwing) we require 7 days notice prior to the first session for cancelation. Rescheduling is possible if there is space in another workshop.
Cancellations due to illness:
When you purchase a class you are taking the risk that you might be sick on the date when your class rolls around. While we understand that getting sick is outside of your control, it is also outside of ours. We are a small business, and we are not able to give refunds or reschedule due to last-minute illness. If you are sick, please do not attend your class to protect the other participants. Please contact us to let us know you will not be attending.
Can I make up a session if I miss a week in a series workshop?
We ask students to only register in a 4 week class if they can commit to the entire sequence. Due to the limited number of wheels we cannot add a participant to another ongoing class.
Can I combine the handbuilding and painting workshops?
At the moment these workshops are ran as separate events due to timing. If you want to paint your creation please discuss during the workshop as we will accommodate if possible for a future paint night.
What should I wear/ what to bring?
Please wear something comfortable that you dont mind getting a bit of clay on. Aprons will be provided for paint nights, for the series classes we recommend you bring an apron and hand towel.
