Paint Your Own Pottery - 90 Minutes 1 piece BYOB
NO GROUPONS
Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can bring your own masterpieces to life! In this engaging and hands-on session, attendees will have the opportunity to paint and glaze their previously made pottery pieces. With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.
During the class, you will learn the essential techniques of sanding and smoothing your pottery, ensuring a flawless finish. Our experienced instructors will guide you in layering colors and intricate designs over your pieces, allowing you to create unique and personalized works of art.
One of the key benefits of glazing is that it not only enhances the visual appeal of your pottery but also makes it food-safe and permanent. After glazing, you will leave your pieces behind to be fired at a scorching 2000 degrees. This firing process transforms your artwork into microwave-safe, oven-safe, and completely food-safe pottery.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner looking to explore your creative side, our Pottery Painting and Glazing class offers a fun and rewarding experience for all. Come and discover the joy of transforming your pottery into functional and beautiful pieces that you can cherish for years to come.
EACH PERSON ENTERING CLASS MUST HAVE OWN Ticket. EACH TICKET IS GOOD FOR one piece. Additional pieces to be painted are 15$ each.

Paint Your Own Pottery - 90 Minutes 1 piece BYOB
NO GROUPONS
Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can bring your own masterpieces to life! In this engaging and hands-on session, attendees will have the opportunity to paint and glaze their previously made pottery pieces. With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.
During the class, you will learn the essential techniques of sanding and smoothing your pottery, ensuring a flawless finish. Our experienced instructors will guide you in layering colors and intricate designs over your pieces, allowing you to create unique and personalized works of art.
One of the key benefits of glazing is that it not only enhances the visual appeal of your pottery but also makes it food-safe and permanent. After glazing, you will leave your pieces behind to be fired at a scorching 2000 degrees. This firing process transforms your artwork into microwave-safe, oven-safe, and completely food-safe pottery.

Come and discover the joy of transforming your pottery into functional and beautiful pieces that you can cherish for years to come.

Paint Your Own Pottery - 90 Minutes 1 piece BYOB
NO GROUPONS
Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can bring your own masterpieces to life! In this engaging and hands-on session, attendees will have the opportunity to paint and glaze their previously made pottery pieces. With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.
During the class, you will learn the essential techniques of sanding and smoothing your pottery, ensuring a flawless finish. Our experienced instructors will guide you in layering colors and intricate designs over your pieces, allowing you to create unique and personalized works of art.
One of the key benefits of glazing is that it not only enhances the visual appeal of your pottery but also makes it food-safe and permanent. After glazing, you will leave your pieces behind to be fired at a scorching 2000 degrees. This firing process transforms your artwork into microwave-safe, oven-safe, and completely food-safe pottery.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner looking to explore your creative side, our Pottery Painting and Glazing class offers a fun and rewarding experience for all. Come and discover the joy of transforming your pottery into functional and beautiful pieces that you can cherish for years to come.

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.

In this engaging and hands-on session, attendees will have the opportunity to paint and glaze their previously made pottery pieces.

Paint Your Own Pottery - 90 Minutes 1 piece BYOB

In this engaging and hands-on session, attendees will have the opportunity to paint and glaze their previously made pottery pieces.

During the class, you will learn the essential techniques of sanding and smoothing your pottery, ensuring a flawless finish. Our experienced instructors will guide you in layering colors and intricate designs over your pieces, allowing you to create unique and personalized works of art.
One of the key benefits of glazing is that it not only enhances the visual appeal of your pottery but also makes it food-safe and permanent. After glazing, you will leave your pieces behind to be fired at a scorching 2000 degrees. This firing process transforms your artwork into microwave-safe, oven-safe, and completely food-safe pottery.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner looking to explore your creative side, our Pottery Painting and Glazing class offers a fun and rewarding experience for all. Come and discover the joy of transforming your pottery into functional and beautiful pieces that you can cherish for years to come.

Crush, Cut, Fuse: BYOB Glass Fusion Workshop
90-Minute Introductory Workshop | Saturdays
Unleash your creativity through the luminous art of glass fusing. In this beginner-friendly 1.5-hour class, you'll design and create a simple yet stunning square glass container using a variety of glass materials and layering techniques.
You’ll work with:
Fusible sheet glass – the base for your project, available in multiple colors
Glass frit – crushed glass in different grain sizes for texture and shading
Stringers and rods – thin, colorful glass strands for detailed linework
Dichroic glass – shimmering, reflective pieces that add sparkle and depth
Glass powders – for soft gradients and painterly effects
Under the guidance of our instructor, you’ll cut, layer, and arrange your design before it’s kiln-fired to fuse into a solid form. No experience is necessary, and all tools and materials are included.
Please note: • No refunds or reschedules • Classes may be full on weekends • Seating together is not guaranteed for late arrivals • Street parking only – allow extra time • Located at 1142 W 18th St., Chicago (next to Bobijoa Korean Kitchen)

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.

In this engaging and hands-on session, attendees will have the opportunity to paint and glaze their previously made pottery pieces.

During the class, you will learn the essential techniques of sanding and smoothing your pottery, ensuring a flawless finish. Our experienced instructors will guide you in layering colors and intricate designs over your pieces, allowing you to create unique and personalized works of art.

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.

Paint Your Own Pottery - 90 Minutes 1 piece BYOB
NO GROUPONS
Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can bring your own masterpieces to life! In this engaging and hands-on session, attendees will have the opportunity to paint and glaze their previously made pottery pieces. With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.
During the class, you will learn the essential techniques of sanding and smoothing your pottery, ensuring a flawless finish. Our experienced instructors will guide you in layering colors and intricate designs over your pieces, allowing you to create unique and personalized works of art.
One of the key benefits of glazing is that it not only enhances the visual appeal of your pottery but also makes it food-safe and permanent. After glazing, you will leave your pieces behind to be fired at a scorching 2000 degrees. This firing process transforms your artwork into microwave-safe, oven-safe, and completely food-safe pottery.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner looking to explore your creative side, our Pottery Painting and Glazing class offers a fun and rewarding experience for all. Come and discover the joy of transforming your pottery into functional and beautiful pieces that you can cherish for years to come.

Paint Your Own Pottery - 90 Minutes 1 piece BYOB
NO GROUPONS
Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can bring your own masterpieces to life! In this engaging and hands-on session, attendees will have the opportunity to paint and glaze their previously made pottery pieces. With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.
During the class, you will learn the essential techniques of sanding and smoothing your pottery, ensuring a flawless finish. Our experienced instructors will guide you in layering colors and intricate designs over your pieces, allowing you to create unique and personalized works of art.
One of the key benefits of glazing is that it not only enhances the visual appeal of your pottery but also makes it food-safe and permanent. After glazing, you will leave your pieces behind to be fired at a scorching 2000 degrees. This firing process transforms your artwork into microwave-safe, oven-safe, and completely food-safe pottery.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner looking to explore your creative side, our Pottery Painting and Glazing class offers a fun and rewarding experience for all. Come and discover the joy of transforming your pottery into functional and beautiful pieces that you can cherish for years to come.
EACH PERSON ENTERING CLASS MUST HAVE OWN Ticket. EACH TICKET IS GOOD FOR one piece. Additional pieces to be painted are 15$ 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!

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.

Paint Your Own Pottery - 90 Minutes 1 piece BYOB
NO GROUPONS
Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can bring your own masterpieces to life! In this engaging and hands-on session, attendees will have the opportunity to paint and glaze their previously made pottery pieces. With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.
During the class, you will learn the essential techniques of sanding and smoothing your pottery, ensuring a flawless finish. Our experienced instructors will guide you in layering colors and intricate designs over your pieces, allowing you to create unique and personalized works of art.
One of the key benefits of glazing is that it not only enhances the visual appeal of your pottery but also makes it food-safe and permanent. After glazing, you will leave your pieces behind to be fired at a scorching 2000 degrees. This firing process transforms your artwork into microwave-safe, oven-safe, and completely food-safe pottery.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner looking to explore your creative side, our Pottery Painting and Glazing class offers a fun and rewarding experience for all. Come and discover the joy of transforming your pottery into functional and beautiful pieces that you can cherish for years to come.
EACH PERSON ENTERING CLASS MUST HAVE OWN Ticket. EACH TICKET IS GOOD FOR one piece. Additional pieces to be painted are 15$ each.

Paint Your Own Pottery - 90 Minutes 1 piece BYOB
NO GROUPONS
Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can bring your own masterpieces to life! In this engaging and hands-on session, attendees will have the opportunity to paint and glaze their previously made pottery pieces. With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.
During the class, you will learn the essential techniques of sanding and smoothing your pottery, ensuring a flawless finish. Our experienced instructors will guide you in layering colors and intricate designs over your pieces, allowing you to create unique and personalized works of art.
One of the key benefits of glazing is that it not only enhances the visual appeal of your pottery but also makes it food-safe and permanent. After glazing, you will leave your pieces behind to be fired at a scorching 2000 degrees. This firing process transforms your artwork into microwave-safe, oven-safe, and completely food-safe pottery.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner looking to explore your creative side, our Pottery Painting and Glazing class offers a fun and rewarding experience for all. Come and discover the joy of transforming your pottery into functional and beautiful pieces that you can cherish for years to come.

Paint Your Own Pottery - 90 Minutes 1 piece BYOB
NO GROUPONS
Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can bring your own masterpieces to life! In this engaging and hands-on session, attendees will have the opportunity to paint and glaze their previously made pottery pieces. With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.
During the class, you will learn the essential techniques of sanding and smoothing your pottery, ensuring a flawless finish. Our experienced instructors will guide you in layering colors and intricate designs over your pieces, allowing you to create unique and personalized works of art.
One of the key benefits of glazing is that it not only enhances the visual appeal of your pottery but also makes it food-safe and permanent. After glazing, you will leave your pieces behind to be fired at a scorching 2000 degrees. This firing process transforms your artwork into microwave-safe, oven-safe, and completely food-safe pottery.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner looking to explore your creative side, our Pottery Painting and Glazing class offers a fun and rewarding experience for all. Come and discover the joy of transforming your pottery into functional and beautiful pieces that you can cherish for years to come.

🖌️ What to Expect Our friendly and experienced instructors will walk you through techniques for layering colors, adding patterns, and mastering the magic of glaze. You don’t need any prior experience—just a love for creativity and a willingness to get a little messy!
✨ Why Glaze? 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.
📅 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.

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
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
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.
1. Our Wheel Throwing classes are very messy. Especially for newcomers. We highly suggest wearing clothes that you can get dirty. Or bring an oversize shirt to wear over the clothes you are currently wearing. We do provide cloth aprons as well as plastic disposable aprons, which are on sale for 1$ at check-in. We accept cash app, Zelle or cash.

📅 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.

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
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.
1. Our Wheel Throwing classes are very messy. Especially for newcomers. We highly suggest wearing clothes that you can get dirty. Or bring an oversize shirt to wear over the clothes you are currently wearing. We do provide cloth aprons as well as plastic disposable aprons, which are on sale for 1$ at check-in.

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
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.
1. Our Wheel Throwing classes are very messy. Especially for newcomers. We highly suggest wearing clothes that you can get dirty. Or bring an oversize shirt to wear over the clothes you are currently wearing. We do provide cloth aprons as well as plastic disposable aprons, which are on sale for 1$ at check-in. 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.
Please go to our new location located at 1142 W 18th St., Chicago Illinois.
Please leave with enough time to find parking. parking in Chicago can be very difficult.
We do not provide parking.
Parking is all paid street parking and can be limited. We highly suggest using public transportation, Being prepared to park and walk a couple blocks, Or use an Uber. Our classes start 10 minutes after the prepared time. And we will not take walk-ins that are late 30 minutes or more. There is a rescheduled fee of $15 per ticket if you are late and if you would like to transfer to a different class at another time. Thank you for your understanding. 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. We do not guarantee boxes will be available. If you leave your piece with us we will paint your piece and fire it for you. It will be ready for pick up three weeks after you leave it with us. 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.

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.

BYOB Painting: Girl with Balloon (original by Banksy)
A young girl reaches toward a red, heart-shaped balloon just out of reach—symbolizing hope, innocence, love, or loss depending on the viewer’s perspective. The simple stencil style paired with a textured, weathered wall gives this work its power: a fleeting moment frozen in time, filled with emotion and ambiguity.
Banksy's Girl with Balloon has become one of the most recognized and emotionally charged images in modern street art. It speaks quietly but deeply—reminding us that, "There is always hope," as some versions of the mural originally read.
Come swing into something beautiful—one brushstroke at a time.
