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.

Lunar Connection: A Valentine’s Day Paint & Sip
 

 

 

This Valentine’s Day, create something meaningful together.

 

In Lunar Connection, couples will work side-by-side to create a two-canvas abstract moon painting — individual pieces that stand beautifully on their own, but come together to form one striking work of art.

 

Designed for beginners, this experience focuses on texture, movement, and emotion rather than perfection. One partner shapes the moon itself, while the other creates the surrounding atmosphere — darkness, depth, and energy. A final shared moment brings the two canvases together with subtle metallic accents, symbolizing connection.

 

Small class sizes allow for hands-on instruction, guided techniques, and a relaxed, intimate atmosphere. No experience needed — just come ready to create, sip, and slow down together.

 

✨ All materials included

✨ Premium, instructor-guided experience

✨ Each couple leaves with two finished canvases

 

This is not a typical paint night.

It’s an experience — and a piece you’ll want to keep.

 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.

We accept cash app, Zelle or cash.

 

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.

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.

✅ Great for beginners, couples, and friends
✅ Led by an experienced ceramic instructor

You’ll learn the basics of ceramic hand-building and pipe-forming techniques in a fun, social environment.


🎨 Want to Glaze Your Piece?

If you’d like your piece to be fired and glazed, you must return within 30 days to join a Paint Your Own Pottery session. We offer:

  • Bisque Fire only – $5 per piece

Please note: this class does not guarantee you’ll finish a piece on-site. We’ll do everything possible to help you complete your work, but clay is unpredictable!

If needed, we’ll provide a paper plate and bag to take your piece home. Feel free to bring your own box or container for safer transport.


🧼 Optional Clay Cleanup Tip

We provide public wash bins and individual sinks with soap and water. If you prefer your own rinse station, feel free to bring a small plastic container or bucket.

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.

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!

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 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. 

 PARKING AND CLASS TIMES

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 let me know if you have any further questions

We accept cash app, Zelle or cash.

 

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.
