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.

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.

    ✨ 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-up30 days after your class. We will not call or text. You must return after 30 days during studio hours to retrieve your piece. We’ll hold your piece for 60 days—after that, any unclaimed works may be recycled or donated to make room for new creations.

  • 🎨 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-up30 days after your class. We will not call or text. You must return after 30 days during studio hours to retrieve your piece. 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 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.
