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.

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. 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 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.

    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.

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

At Color Cocktail Factory, we believe art should be accessible to everyone—and we’re proud to offer some of the most affordable art experiences in Chicago!

 

Our classes are public and can be full on weekends, so seating together is not guaranteed (especially for late arrivals), though we’ll always do our best to seat friends together. If you prefer a quieter setting or one-on-one attention, please consider booking a private lesson.

 

๐Ÿ’ฆ Pottery can be messy! Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty or bring an oversized shirt. We provide cloth aprons, and disposable ones are available for $1 at check-in (Cash, Cash App, or Zelle).

๐Ÿชฃ You may bring your own small plastic container if you’d like your own hand-wash bucket.

๐Ÿ“ We’re located at 1142 W 18th St, Chicago, IL — next to Bobijoa Korean Kitchen and across from Chicago Tattoo. (Google Maps may show our old address, so double-check before heading over!)

๐Ÿš— Parking is paid street parking and can be limited. Please plan to arrive early or use public transit/Uber.

โฐ Classes start 10 minutes after the listed time. Late arrivals of 30 minutes or more cannot be admitted; a $15 reschedule fee applies for missed sessions.

โณ Each class has specific  hours, and staying past class time may result in a $50 per-person, per-hour charge.

๐ŸŽŸ All registrations are final — no refunds or reschedules after registration.

We do not contact customers for pickup. Pieces are ready 3 weeks after glazing, and pickup times are posted on Instagram under @colorcocktailfactory.

๐ŸŽจ 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

  • Glazing + Firing – $10 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.


๐Ÿงผ 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.
