Matcha Madness - Custom Matcha Bowl 30$
 

Join us for a hands-on pottery wheel workshop where you’ll create your very own custom matcha bowl — perfect for tea lovers, potters, and creative souls alike.

 

For just $30, this class includes:

✨ Guided instruction on the pottery wheel

✨ Professional trimming of your piece

✨ A Shino glaze finish — a rare and historic Japanese glaze known for its warm, creamy tones and rustic beauty

Why Shino?

Shino glaze dates back to 16th-century Japan and is treasured for its unique ability to create soft, natural textures ranging from milky whites to burnt oranges. It was the first white glaze ever developed in Japan and is deeply tied to traditional tea ware — especially chawan (matcha bowls).

 

 

At our studio, you’ll have exclusive access to this specialty glaze that most pottery classes don’t offer.

 

 

🧤 No experience needed. Just show up ready to throw, spin, and sip in style.

 

60 mins  

 

Want to take it further? Stay for Part 2: Matcha Sidekicks—where you’ll create the matching tea canister and whisk holder!

    To get the biggest discount — VIP options, and more seats at: https://colorcocktailfactory.as.me


    Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can choose your own bisque fired pieces from our selection to paint! With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.

    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.

Pieces will be ready for pick up after three weeks of the painting date. We will then keep the glazed pieces on our shelves for 60 days. After 60 days they will be given away or recycled.
Please note that registration is a firm commitment to attend the class. 
NO REFUND NO RESCHEDULING AFTER REGISTRATION!

  • 🎨 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.

    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.

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

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.

    Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can choose your own bisque fired pieces from our selection to paint! With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.

    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.

Pieces will be ready for pick up after three weeks of the painting date. We will then keep the glazed pieces on our shelves for 60 days. After 60 days they will be given away or recycled.
Please note that registration is a firm commitment to attend the class.

    To get the biggest discount — VIP options, and more seats at: https://colorcocktailfactory.as.me


    Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can choose your own bisque fired pieces from our selection to paint! With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.

    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.

Pieces will be ready for pick up after three weeks of the painting date. We will then keep the glazed pieces on our shelves for 60 days. After 60 days they will be given away or recycled.
Please note that registration is a firm commitment to attend the class. 
NO REFUND NO RESCHEDULING AFTER REGISTRATION!

Paint Your Own Pottery - 90 Minutes (1 piece per person)

    Must have a piece already made at one of our classes. We will not provide one. You must use the piece you made at a previous class!

     


    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.

    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.

    To get the biggest discount — VIP options, and more seats at: https://colorcocktailfactory.as.me


    Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can choose your own bisque fired pieces from our selection to paint! With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.

    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.

Pieces will be ready for pick up after three weeks of the painting date. We will then keep the glazed pieces on our shelves for 60 days. After 60 days they will be given away or recycled.
Please note that registration is a firm commitment to attend the class.

Paint Pottery-90 Minutes - BYOB
 
  • NON GROUPON CUSTOMERS

     

    To get the biggest discount — VIP options, and more seats at: https://colorcocktailfactory.as.me


    Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can choose your own bisque fired pieces from our selection to paint! With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.

    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.

Pieces will be ready for pick up after three weeks of the painting date. We will then keep the glazed pieces on our shelves for 60 days. After 60 days they will be given away or recycled.
Please note that registration is a firm commitment to attend the 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".

    To get the biggest discount — VIP options, and more seats at: https://colorcocktailfactory.as.me


    Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can choose your own bisque fired pieces from our selection to paint! With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.

    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.

Pieces will be ready for pick up after three weeks of the painting date. We will then keep the glazed pieces on our shelves for 60 days. After 60 days they will be given away or recycled.
Please note that registration is a firm commitment to attend the 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.

Paint Your Own Pottery - 90 Minutes (1 piece per person)
 
  • NO GROUPONS

    Must have a piece already made at one of our classes. We will not provide one. You must use the piece you made at a previous class!

     


    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.

    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.

Matcha Madness - Custom Matcha Bowl 30$
 

Join us for a hands-on pottery wheel workshop where you’ll create your very own custom matcha bowl — perfect for tea lovers, potters, and creative souls alike.

 

For just $30, this class includes:

✨ Guided instruction on the pottery wheel

✨ Professional trimming of your piece

✨ A Shino glaze finish — a rare and historic Japanese glaze known for its warm, creamy tones and rustic beauty

Why Shino?

Shino glaze dates back to 16th-century Japan and is treasured for its unique ability to create soft, natural textures ranging from milky whites to burnt oranges. It was the first white glaze ever developed in Japan and is deeply tied to traditional tea ware — especially chawan (matcha bowls).

 

 

At our studio, you’ll have exclusive access to this specialty glaze that most pottery classes don’t offer.

 

 

🧤 No experience needed. Just show up ready to throw, spin, and sip in style.

 

60 mins  

 

Want to take it further? Stay for Part 2: Matcha Sidekicks—where you’ll create the matching tea canister and whisk holder!

    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.

    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.

Pieces will be ready for pick up after three weeks of the painting date. We will then keep the glazed pieces on our shelves for 60 days. After 60 days they will be given away or recycled.

Paint Your Own Pottery - 90 Minutes (1 piece per person)
 
  • NO GROUPONS

    Must have a piece already made at one of our classes. We will not provide one. You must use the piece you made at a previous class!

     


    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.

    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.

    To get the biggest discount — VIP options, and more seats at: https://colorcocktailfactory.as.me


    Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can choose your own bisque fired pieces from our selection to paint! With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.

    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.

Pieces will be ready for pick up after three weeks of the painting date. We will then keep the glazed pieces on our shelves for 60 days. After 60 days they will be given away or recycled.
Please note that registration is a firm commitment to attend the class.

This activity is perfect for large groups, families, or anyone who has never played with clay and just wants to try something new and fun this Halloween season.

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.

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.

    To get the biggest discount — VIP options, and more seats at: https://colorcocktailfactory.as.me


    Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can choose your own bisque fired pieces from our selection to paint! With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.

    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.

Pieces will be ready for pick up after three weeks of the painting date. We will then keep the glazed pieces on our shelves for 60 days. After 60 days they will be given away or recycled.
Please note that registration is a firm commitment to attend the class.

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.

This activity is perfect for large groups, families, or anyone who has never played with clay and just wants to try something new and fun this Halloween season.

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

This firing process transforms your artwork into microwave-safe, oven-safe, and completely food-safe pottery.

  • 🎨 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.

     

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

    Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can choose your own bisque fired pieces from our selection to paint! With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.

    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.

Pieces will be ready for pick up after three weeks of the painting date. We will then keep the glazed pieces on our shelves for 60 days. After 60 days they will be given away or recycled.

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.

All skill levels welcome
🎨 Step-by-step guidance provided

    Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can choose your own bisque fired pieces from our selection to paint! With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.

    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.

Pieces will be ready for pick up after three weeks of the painting date. We will then keep the glazed pieces on our shelves for 60 days. After 60 days they will be given away or recycled.
Please note that registration is a firm commitment to attend the class. 
NO REFUND NO RESCHEDULING AFTER REGISTRATION!

This activity is perfect for large groups, families, or anyone who has never played with clay and just wants to try something new and fun this Halloween season.

Paint Pottery-90 Minutes - BYOB
 
  • NON GROUPON CUSTOMERS

     

    To get the biggest discount — VIP options, and more seats at: https://colorcocktailfactory.as.me


    Join our Pottery Painting and Glazing class where you can choose your own bisque fired pieces from our selection to paint! With a wide range of vibrant colors to choose from, you can truly let your creativity flow.

    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.

Pieces will be ready for pick up after three weeks of the painting date. We will then keep the glazed pieces on our shelves for 60 days. After 60 days they will be given away or recycled.
Please note that registration is a firm commitment to attend the class. 
NO REFUND NO RESCHEDULING AFTER REGISTRATION!

Matcha Madness - Custom Matcha Bowl 30$
 

Join us for a hands-on pottery wheel workshop where you’ll create your very own custom matcha bowl — perfect for tea lovers, potters, and creative souls alike.

 

For just $30, this class includes:

✨ Guided instruction on the pottery wheel

✨ Professional trimming of your piece

✨ A Shino glaze finish — a rare and historic Japanese glaze known for its warm, creamy tones and rustic beauty

Why Shino?

Shino glaze dates back to 16th-century Japan and is treasured for its unique ability to create soft, natural textures ranging from milky whites to burnt oranges. It was the first white glaze ever developed in Japan and is deeply tied to traditional tea ware — especially chawan (matcha bowls).

 

 

At our studio, you’ll have exclusive access to this specialty glaze that most pottery classes don’t offer.

 

 

🧤 No experience needed. Just show up ready to throw, spin, and sip in style.

 

60 mins  

 

Want to take it further? Stay for Part 2: Matcha Sidekicks—where you’ll create the matching tea canister and whisk holder!

Paint Your Own Pottery - 90 Minutes (1 piece per person)
 
  • NO GROUPONS

    Must have a piece already made at one of our classes. We will not provide one. You must use the piece you made at a previous class!

     


    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.

    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.

     

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

Clay-o’-Lanterns
 

This Halloween, skip the messy pumpkin guts and carve your very own clay pumpkin lantern!

In this class, you’ll shape a hollow clay pumpkin, then carve fun faces, patterns, and spooky designs right into the clay. Our team will harden the outside of the clay first, giving you that perfect “carve-ready” surface—just like a pumpkin.

 

At Color Cocktail Factory, we believe that art should be available for everyone. That’s why our pumpkin carving class is priced at only $25 per person—the most affordable option in Chicago! This activity is perfect for large groups, families, or anyone who has never played with clay and just wants to try something new and fun this Halloween season.

 

When finished, your pumpkin can be bisque fired for only $5 per piece. This way, you’ll have a permanent keepsake to light up with an LED candle every year.

Clay-o’-Lanterns
 

This Halloween, skip the messy pumpkin guts and carve your very own clay pumpkin lantern!

In this class, you’ll shape a hollow clay pumpkin, then carve fun faces, patterns, and spooky designs right into the clay. Our team will harden the outside of the clay first, giving you that perfect “carve-ready” surface—just like a pumpkin.

 

At Color Cocktail Factory, we believe that art should be available for everyone. That’s why our pumpkin carving class is priced at only $25 per person—the most affordable option in Chicago! This activity is perfect for large groups, families, or anyone who has never played with clay and just wants to try something new and fun this Halloween season.

Clay-o’-Lanterns
 

This Halloween, skip the messy pumpkin guts and carve your very own clay pumpkin lantern!

In this class, you’ll shape a hollow clay pumpkin, then carve fun faces, patterns, and spooky designs right into the clay. Our team will harden the outside of the clay first, giving you that perfect “carve-ready” surface—just like a pumpkin.

 

At Color Cocktail Factory, we believe that art should be available for everyone. That’s why our pumpkin carving class is priced at only $25 per person—the most affordable option in Chicago! This activity is perfect for large groups, families, or anyone who has never played with clay and just wants to try something new and fun this Halloween season.

 

When finished, your pumpkin can be bisque fired for only $5 per piece. This way, you’ll have a permanent keepsake to light up with an LED candle every year.

Clay-o’-Lanterns
 

This Halloween, skip the messy pumpkin guts and carve your very own clay pumpkin lantern!

In this class, you’ll shape a hollow clay pumpkin, then carve fun faces, patterns, and spooky designs right into the clay. Our team will harden the outside of the clay first, giving you that perfect “carve-ready” surface—just like a pumpkin.

 

At Color Cocktail Factory, we believe that art should be available for everyone. That’s why our pumpkin carving class is priced at only $25 per person—the most affordable option in Chicago! This activity is perfect for large groups, families, or anyone who has never played with clay and just wants to try something new and fun this Halloween season.

 

When finished, your pumpkin can be bisque fired for only $5 per piece. This way, you’ll have a permanent keepsake to light up with an LED candle every year.

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.

Clay-o’-Lanterns
 

This Halloween, skip the messy pumpkin guts and carve your very own clay pumpkin lantern!

In this class, you’ll shape a hollow clay pumpkin, then carve fun faces, patterns, and spooky designs right into the clay. Our team will harden the outside of the clay first, giving you that perfect “carve-ready” surface—just like a pumpkin.

 

At Color Cocktail Factory, we believe that art should be available for everyone. That’s why our pumpkin carving class is priced at only $25 per person—the most affordable option in Chicago! This activity is perfect for large groups, families, or anyone who has never played with clay and just wants to try something new and fun this Halloween season.

 

When finished, your pumpkin can be bisque fired for only $5 per piece. This way, you’ll have a permanent keepsake to light up with an LED candle every year.

Clay-o’-Lanterns
 

This Halloween, skip the messy pumpkin guts and carve your very own clay pumpkin lantern!

In this class, you’ll shape a hollow clay pumpkin, then carve fun faces, patterns, and spooky designs right into the clay. Our team will harden the outside of the clay first, giving you that perfect “carve-ready” surface—just like a pumpkin.

 

At Color Cocktail Factory, we believe that art should be available for everyone. That’s why our pumpkin carving class is priced at only $25 per person—the most affordable option in Chicago! This activity is perfect for large groups, families, or anyone who has never played with clay and just wants to try something new and fun this Halloween season.

 

When finished, your pumpkin can be bisque fired for only $5 per piece. This way, you’ll have a permanent keepsake to light up with an LED candle every year.

Clay-o’-Lanterns
 

This Halloween, skip the messy pumpkin guts and carve your very own clay pumpkin lantern!

In this class, you’ll shape a hollow clay pumpkin, then carve fun faces, patterns, and spooky designs right into the clay. Our team will harden the outside of the clay first, giving you that perfect “carve-ready” surface—just like a pumpkin.

 

At Color Cocktail Factory, we believe that art should be available for everyone. That’s why our pumpkin carving class is priced at only $25 per person—the most affordable option in Chicago! This activity is perfect for large groups, families, or anyone who has never played with clay and just wants to try something new and fun this Halloween season.

 

When finished, your pumpkin can be bisque fired for only $5 per piece. This way, you’ll have a permanent keepsake to light up with an LED candle every year.

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.
