Which means you cannot eat out of this piece and it will be fragile. You can take pieces home the same day if you make one and it can be a small decorative piece for memories sake. In order to make your pieces food-safe and durable, you can register for a second session, called "Paint Your Own Pottery". In this class you will learn about the kiln process, glazes, and how to customize the color and design of your pieces. The "Paint Your Own Pottery" session can be scheduled anytime after 3 days of this class. 

 

This class does not guarantee you will leave with a piece. We will make every effort to ensure that you leave with a piece, but it is not guaranteed.

Which means you cannot eat out of this piece and it will be fragile. You can take pieces home the same day if you make one and it can be a small decorative piece for memories sake. In order to make your pieces food-safe and durable, you can register for a second session, called "Paint Your Own Pottery". In this class you will learn about the kiln process, glazes, and how to customize the color and design of your pieces. The "Paint Your Own Pottery" session can be scheduled anytime after 3 days of this class. 

 

This class does not guarantee you will leave with a piece. We will make every effort to ensure that you leave with a piece, but it is not guaranteed.

The "Paint Your Own Pottery" session can be scheduled anytime after 3 days of this class.

In this class you will learn about the kiln process, glazes, and how to customize the color and design of your pieces. The "Paint Your Own Pottery" session can be scheduled anytime after 3 days of this class. 

 

This class does not guarantee you will leave with a piece. We will make every effort to ensure that you leave with a piece, but it is not guaranteed.

Get ready to dive into the wildly enjoyable world of wheel-throwing pottery!

This session is perfect for beginners itching to unleash their inner artist. You'll learn the nitty-gritty of clay preparation, centering it on the wheel, tool preparation and the basics of making a small bowl!  No experience? No problem! Everyone's invited to join the pottery party!

This class includes all the tools and instruction needed to make a small bowl. It does not include a glazed and fired piece. This class is meant to teach you a new skill and provides instruction and the tools to do as such. By the end of the session you MIGHT have a piece that is considered Greenware. Which means you cannot eat out of this piece and it will be fragile. You can take pieces home the same day if you make one and it can be a small decorative piece for memories sake. In order to make your pieces food-safe and durable, you can register for a second session, called "Paint Your Own Pottery". In this class you will learn about the kiln process, glazes, and how to customize the color and design of your pieces. The "Paint Your Own Pottery" session can be scheduled anytime after 3 days of this class. 

 

This class does not guarantee you will leave with a piece. We will make every effort to ensure that you leave with a piece, but it is not guaranteed. All customers will be told to take their pieces home. We will send you home with a paper plate and a paper bag if available We do not provided boxes.

Empanada Incense Holder Workshop Make & Paint
 

Empanada Incense Holder Workshop (Make & Paint – Same Day Finish!)

 

Get ready for one of the most unique (and oddly satisfying) pottery classes we’ve ever dropped…

 

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your very own ceramic empanada incense holder — yes, it looks like food… but it’s actually functional art πŸ‘€πŸ”₯

 

You’ll start by learning the fundamentals of handbuilding with clay, including:

 

  • Slab building techniques
  • Coil construction for shaping and support
  • How to form and seal your empanada
  • Sculpting and crimping those iconic pastry edges

 

 

Then we take it up a notch…

 

Using a heat gun technique, we’ll speed up the drying process so you can:

πŸ‘‰ Carve, refine, and shape your final design

πŸ‘‰ Add your incense holder opening

In this class you will learn about the kiln process, glazes, and how to customize the color and design of your pieces. The "Paint Your Own Pottery" session can be scheduled anytime after 3 days of this class. 

 

This class does not guarantee you will leave with a piece. We will make every effort to ensure that you leave with a piece, but it is not guaranteed.

    Glazing isn’t just about looks—it transforms your pottery into a glossy, durable, microwave-safe, oven-safe, and fully food-safe piece of art! Once you’re done painting, we’ll fire your piece at a blazing 2,000°F to lock in your design permanently.

     

    πŸ“… Pick-Up Policy
    Your finished masterpiece will be ready for pick-up three weeks after your class. We’ll hold your piece for 60 days—after that, any unclaimed works may be recycled or donated to make room for new creations.

     

    🚨 Please Note: Registration is final. No refunds or reschedules after signing up.

Get ready to dive into the wildly enjoyable world of wheel-throwing pottery!

This session is perfect for beginners itching to unleash their inner artist. You'll learn the nitty-gritty of clay preparation, centering it on the wheel, tool preparation and the basics of making a small bowl!  No experience? No problem! Everyone's invited to join the pottery party!

This class includes all the tools and instruction needed to make a small bowl. It does not include a glazed and fired piece. This class is meant to teach you a new skill and provides instruction and the tools to do as such. By the end of the session you MIGHT have a piece that is considered Greenware. Which means you cannot eat out of this piece and it will be fragile. You can take pieces home the same day if you make one and it can be a small decorative piece for memories sake. In order to make your pieces food-safe and durable, you can register for a second session, called "Paint Your Own Pottery". In this class you will learn about the kiln process, glazes, and how to customize the color and design of your pieces. The "Paint Your Own Pottery" session can be scheduled anytime after 3 days of this class. 

 

This class does not guarantee you will leave with a piece. We will make every effort to ensure that you leave with a piece, but it is not guaranteed. All customers will be told to take their pieces home. We will send you home with a paper plate and a paper bag if available We do not provided boxes. If you would prefer, please feel free to bring your  own box to take your pieces home. We do have options for Bisque Fire, which is five dollars apiece. Or we can glaze your piece starting at $10 each.

Get ready to dive into the wildly enjoyable world of wheel-throwing pottery!

This session is perfect for beginners itching to unleash their inner artist. You'll learn the nitty-gritty of clay preparation, centering it on the wheel, tool preparation and the basics of making a small bowl!  No experience? No problem! Everyone's invited to join the pottery party!

This class includes all the tools and instruction needed to make a small bowl. It does not include a glazed and fired piece. This class is meant to teach you a new skill and provides instruction and the tools to do as such. By the end of the session you MIGHT have a piece that is considered Greenware. Which means you cannot eat out of this piece and it will be fragile. You can take pieces home the same day if you make one and it can be a small decorative piece for memories sake. In order to make your pieces food-safe and durable, you can register for a second session, called "Paint Your Own Pottery". In this class you will learn about the kiln process, glazes, and how to customize the color and design of your pieces. The "Paint Your Own Pottery" session can be scheduled anytime after 3 days of this class. 

 

This class does not guarantee you will leave with a piece. We will make every effort to ensure that you leave with a piece, but it is not guaranteed. All customers will be told to take their pieces home. We will send you home with a paper plate and a paper bag if available We do not provided boxes. If you would prefer, please feel free to bring your  own box to take your pieces home. We do have options for Bisque Fire, which is five dollars apiece. Or we can glaze your piece starting at $10 each.

Please let me know if you have any further questions 

     

    seating next to each other is not guaranteed especially if you come late. We will attempt to accommodate everyone to sit with whoever they have a reservation with but again it is not guaranteed.

     

    This class does not guarantee you will leave with a piece. We will make every effort to ensure that you leave with a piece, but it is not guaranteed.

  • 🌿 Herb Empanada – earthy, natural green tones
  • πŸŒ™ Midnight Empanada – black with celestial gold details
  • πŸ₯Ÿ OG Empanada – classic toasted pastry finish

 

 

 

 

 

πŸ’‘ What You’ll Leave With:

Get ready to dive into the wildly enjoyable world of wheel-throwing pottery!

This session is perfect for beginners itching to unleash their inner artist. You'll learn the nitty-gritty of clay preparation, centering it on the wheel, tool preparation and the basics of making a small bowl!  No experience? No problem! Everyone's invited to join the pottery party!

This class includes all the tools and instruction needed to make a small bowl. It does not include a glazed and fired piece. This class is meant to teach you a new skill and provides instruction and the tools to do as such. By the end of the session you MIGHT have a piece that is considered Greenware. Which means you cannot eat out of this piece and it will be fragile. You can take pieces home the same day if you make one and it can be a small decorative piece for memories sake. In order to make your pieces food-safe and durable, you can register for a second session, called "Paint Your Own Pottery". In this class you will learn about the kiln process, glazes, and how to customize the color and design of your pieces. The "Paint Your Own Pottery" session can be scheduled anytime after 3 days of this class. 

 

This class does not guarantee you will leave with a piece. We will make every effort to ensure that you leave with a piece, but it is not guaranteed. All customers will be told to take their pieces home. We will send you home with a paper plate and a paper bag if available We do not provided boxes. If you would prefer, please feel free to bring your  own box to take your pieces home. We do have options for Bisque Fire, which is five dollars apiece. Or we can glaze your piece starting at $10 each.

Get ready to dive into the wildly enjoyable world of wheel-throwing pottery!

This session is perfect for beginners itching to unleash their inner artist. You'll learn the nitty-gritty of clay preparation, centering it on the wheel, tool preparation and the basics of making a small bowl!  No experience? No problem! Everyone's invited to join the pottery party!

This class includes all the tools and instruction needed to make a small bowl. It does not include a glazed and fired piece. This class is meant to teach you a new skill and provides instruction and the tools to do as such. By the end of the session you MIGHT have a piece that is considered Greenware. Which means you cannot eat out of this piece and it will be fragile. You can take pieces home the same day if you make one and it can be a small decorative piece for memories sake. In order to make your pieces food-safe and durable, you can register for a second session, called "Paint Your Own Pottery". In this class you will learn about the kiln process, glazes, and how to customize the color and design of your pieces. The "Paint Your Own Pottery" session can be scheduled anytime after 3 days of this class. 

 

This class does not guarantee you will leave with a piece. We will make every effort to ensure that you leave with a piece, but it is not guaranteed. All customers will be told to take their pieces home. We will send you home with a paper plate and a paper bag if available We do not provided boxes. If you would prefer, please feel free to bring your  own box to take your pieces home. We do have options for Bisque Fire, which is five dollars apiece. Or we can glaze your piece starting at $10 each.

Which means you cannot eat out of this piece and it will be fragile. You can take pieces home the same day if you make one and it can be a small decorative piece for memories sake. In order to make your pieces food-safe and durable, you can register for a second session, called "Paint Your Own Pottery". In this class you will learn about the kiln process, glazes, and how to customize the color and design of your pieces. The "Paint Your Own Pottery" session can be scheduled anytime after 3 days of this class. 

 

This class does not guarantee you will leave with a piece. We will make every effort to ensure that you leave with a piece, but it is not guaranteed. All customers will be told to take their pieces home. We will send you home with a paper plate and a paper bag if available We do not provided boxes.

Get ready to dive into the wildly enjoyable world of wheel-throwing pottery!

This session is perfect for beginners itching to unleash their inner artist. You'll learn the nitty-gritty of clay preparation, centering it on the wheel, tool preparation and the basics of making a small bowl!  No experience? No problem! Everyone's invited to join the pottery party!

This class includes all the tools and instruction needed to make a small bowl. It does not include a glazed and fired piece. This class is meant to teach you a new skill and provides instruction and the tools to do as such. By the end of the session you MIGHT have a piece that is considered Greenware. Which means you cannot eat out of this piece and it will be fragile. You can take pieces home the same day if you make one and it can be a small decorative piece for memories sake. In order to make your pieces food-safe and durable, you can register for a second session, called "Paint Your Own Pottery". In this class you will learn about the kiln process, glazes, and how to customize the color and design of your pieces. The "Paint Your Own Pottery" session can be scheduled anytime after 3 days of this class. 

 

This class does not guarantee you will leave with a piece. We will make every effort to ensure that you leave with a piece, but it is not guaranteed. All customers will be told to take their pieces home. We will send you home with a paper plate and a paper bag if available We do not provided boxes. If you would prefer, please feel free to bring your  own box to take your pieces home. We do have options for Bisque Fire, which is five dollars apiece. Or we can glaze your piece starting at $10 each.

Empanada Incense Holder Workshop Make & Paint
 

Empanada Incense Holder Workshop (Make & Paint – Same Day Finish!)

 

Get ready for one of the most unique (and oddly satisfying) pottery classes we’ve ever dropped…

 

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your very own ceramic empanada incense holder — yes, it looks like food… but it’s actually functional art πŸ‘€πŸ”₯

 

You’ll start by learning the fundamentals of handbuilding with clay, including:

 

  • Slab building techniques
  • Coil construction for shaping and support
  • How to form and seal your empanada
  • Sculpting and crimping those iconic pastry edges

 

 

Then we take it up a notch…

 

Using a heat gun technique, we’ll speed up the drying process so you can:

πŸ‘‰ Carve, refine, and shape your final design

In order to make your pieces food-safe and durable, you can register for a second session, called "Paint Your Own Pottery". In this class you will learn about the kiln process, glazes, and how to customize the color and design of your pieces. The "Paint Your Own Pottery" session can be scheduled anytime after 3 days of this class. 

 

This class does not guarantee you will leave with a piece. We will make every effort to ensure that you leave with a piece, but it is not guaranteed. All customers will be told to take their pieces home. We will send you home with a paper plate and a paper bag if available We do not provided boxes.

 PARKING AND CLASS TIMES

 

Please read throughly 

 

Please remember if you are attending a Friday, Saturday or Sunday class.  Our Friday and weekend classes can get very full. Especially if the class is a very low price. We at color cocktail factory believe that art should be available for everyone. And pride ourselves on being the most affordable option in Chicago. On weekends, our classes can be very full. We will attempt to help everyone as much as we can. However, it is not a private session class. If you would like one on one instruction please

Look into a private lesson class. If you do not feel comfortable being in a space with a lot of people, please feel free to message me and I will move your class to a different time or date for you. Please check out our Instagram for pictures of what this experience will look like. We are very open and honest about the amount of people we allow in our studio on a weekend. Please let me know if you have any further questions

2. If you would like to have your own bucket to wash your hands of clay. Please feel free to bring a small plastic container. Otherwise, we do have public wash bins and individual sinks with soap and water after using the public wash to remove the clay from your hands. Most people do not have an issue with this. However, please feel free to bring your own bucket if you do.

 

3. Apparently, Google maps has been leading people to the old location. Our new studio is right next to Bobijoa Korean Kitchen. And across the street from Chicago Tattoo.

We want to ensure that everyone gets the amount of class time that they are paying for and taking walk-ins after 30 minutes is not productive for anyone.

 

The glazing process for ceramic classes 

When you make your piece you will be sent home with it. You can bring a small box for your creation or we will send you back with a small plate to carry your piece on.

Empanada Incense Holder Workshop Make & Paint
 

Empanada Incense Holder Workshop (Make & Paint – Same Day Finish!)

 

Get ready for one of the most unique (and oddly satisfying) pottery classes we’ve ever dropped…

 

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your very own ceramic empanada incense holder — yes, it looks like food… but it’s actually functional art πŸ‘€πŸ”₯

 

You’ll start by learning the fundamentals of handbuilding with clay, including:

 

  • Slab building techniques
  • Coil construction for shaping and support
  • How to form and seal your empanada
  • Sculpting and crimping those iconic pastry edges

 

 

Then we take it up a notch…

 

Using a heat gun technique, we’ll speed up the drying process so you can:

πŸ‘‰ Carve, refine, and shape your final design

πŸ‘‰ Add your incense holder opening

πŸ‘‰ Get your piece ready to glaze the same day

 

Finally, you’ll bring your empanada to life with our signature glaze system, designed to give that perfect “toasted pastry” finish ✨

 

 

 

 

πŸ₯Ÿ Choose Your Flavor:

 

 

What kind of empanada are you making?

 

  • 🌢️ Fire Empanada – bold, spicy red toasted edges
  • πŸ§€ Cheesy Empanada – golden melt-inspired glaze
  • 🌿 Herb Empanada – earthy, natural green tones
  • πŸŒ™ Midnight Empanada – black with celestial gold details
  • πŸ₯Ÿ OG Empanada – classic toasted pastry finish

 

 

 

 

 

πŸ’‘ What You’ll Leave With:

 

 

  • Your own handmade functional incense holder
  • A piece that’s 100% unique (and guaranteed conversation starter)
  • A new skillset in handbuilt ceramics

 

 

 

 

 

🎟️ Details:

 

 

  • πŸ’² $50 per person
  • ⏱️ 1.5 hour class
  • 🎨 Make + Paint in one session
  • πŸ”₯ Pieces will be fired and ready for pickup at a later date

 

 

 

 

This class is beginner-friendly, wildly fun, and perfect for:

✨ Date nights

✨ Friends’ nights out

The glazing process for ceramic classes 

When you make your piece you will be sent home with it. You can bring a small box for your creation or we will send you back with a small plate to carry your piece on.

We will NOT call you to let you know when it’s done. It will be done after three weeks and you can stop by during studio hours for pick up

 

Each class is two hours. If your class starts at 5:30, please be off of the wheel or the table by 7:30. As we have another class that takes place at that time. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. We truly hope you enjoy your class at color cocktail factory.

Get ready for one of the most unique (and oddly satisfying) pottery classes we’ve ever dropped…

 

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your very own ceramic empanada incense holder — yes, it looks like food… but it’s actually functional art πŸ‘€πŸ”₯

  • How to form and seal your empanada
  • Sculpting and crimping those iconic pastry edges

 

 

Then we take it up a notch…

 

Using a heat gun technique, we’ll speed up the drying process so you can:

πŸ‘‰ Carve, refine, and shape your final design

πŸ‘‰ Add your incense holder opening

πŸ‘‰ Get your piece ready to glaze the same day

 

Finally, you’ll bring your empanada to life with our signature glaze system, designed to give that perfect “toasted pastry” finish ✨

 

 

 

 

πŸ₯Ÿ Choose Your Flavor:

 

 

What kind of empanada are you making?

 

  • 🌢️ Fire Empanada – bold, spicy red toasted edges
  • πŸ§€ Cheesy Empanada – golden melt-inspired glaze
  • 🌿 Herb Empanada – earthy, natural green tones
  • πŸŒ™ Midnight Empanada – black with celestial gold details
  • πŸ₯Ÿ OG Empanada – classic toasted pastry finish

 

 

 

 

 

πŸ’‘ What You’ll Leave With:

 

 

  • Your own handmade functional incense holder
  • A piece that’s 100% unique (and guaranteed conversation starter)
  • A new skillset in handbuilt ceramics

 

 

 

 

 

🎟️ Details:

 

 

  • πŸ’² $50 per person
  • ⏱️ 1.5 hour class
  • 🎨 Make + Paint in one session

πŸ‘‰ Carve, refine, and shape your final design

πŸ‘‰ Add your incense holder opening

πŸ‘‰ Get your piece ready to glaze the same day

 

Finally, you’ll bring your empanada to life with our signature glaze system, designed to give that perfect “toasted pastry” finish ✨

 

 

 

 

πŸ₯Ÿ Choose Your Flavor:

 

 

What kind of empanada are you making?

  • 🌿 Herb Empanada – earthy, natural green tones
  • πŸŒ™ Midnight Empanada – black with celestial gold details
  • πŸ₯Ÿ OG Empanada – classic toasted pastry finish

 

 

 

 

 

πŸ’‘ What You’ll Leave With:

 

 

  • Your own handmade functional incense holder
  • A piece that’s 100% unique (and guaranteed conversation starter)
  • A new skillset in handbuilt ceramics

πŸ‘‰ Carve, refine, and shape your final design

πŸ‘‰ Add your incense holder opening

πŸ‘‰ Get your piece ready to glaze the same day

 

Finally, you’ll bring your empanada to life with our signature glaze system, designed to give that perfect “toasted pastry” finish ✨

 

 

 

 

πŸ₯Ÿ Choose Your Flavor:

 

 

What kind of empanada are you making?

  • 🌿 Herb Empanada – earthy, natural green tones
  • πŸŒ™ Midnight Empanada – black with celestial gold details
  • πŸ₯Ÿ OG Empanada – classic toasted pastry finish

 

 

 

 

 

πŸ’‘ What You’ll Leave With:

 

 

  • Your own handmade functional incense holder
  • A piece that’s 100% unique (and guaranteed conversation starter)
  • A new skillset in handbuilt ceramics
