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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    📅 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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

    Ready to turn plain pottery into colorful, glossy, food-safe masterpieces? In our Pottery Painting & Glazing Class, you get to pick your favorite bisque-fired piece from our collection and bring it to life with bold colors, fine detail, and your own creative flair!

    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.

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.

  • 🎨 Pottery Painting & Glazing Class – Let’s Get Fired Up! 🔥

     

    Ready to turn plain pottery into colorful, glossy, food-safe masterpieces? In our Pottery Painting & Glazing Class, you get to pick your favorite bisque-fired piece from our collection and bring it to life with bold colors, fine detail, and your own creative flair!

     

    🖌️ 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.

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.

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

    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.

     

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

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.

    Ready to turn plain pottery into colorful, glossy, food-safe masterpieces? In our Pottery Painting & Glazing Class, you get to pick your favorite bisque-fired piece from our collection and bring it to life with bold colors, fine detail, and your own creative flair!

     

    🖌️ 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.

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.

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.

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.

BYOB Painting: Twilight Pirouette
 

Step into the soft glow of city lights and capture the grace of a dancer mid-pose in this dreamlike paint night. Twilight Pirouette invites you to paint a mysterious ballerina under glowing lamplight, her silhouette reflecting on the glistening ground beneath a swirling, teal-blue sky.

With moody brushstrokes, soft reflections, and a silhouette anyone can master, this class is perfect for beginners and seasoned artists alike. It's dramatic, elegant, and a little bit magical—just like a dancer in the rain.

💃 All skill levels welcome
🍷 BYOB – bring your favorite drink and your inner drama queen
