 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.

IF YOU STAY PAST YOUR CLASS TIME WE WILL CHARGE YOUR CARD 50$ a person per hour

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.

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.

Empanada Incense Holder Workshop Make & Paint
 

Empanada Incense Holder Workshop (Make & Paint – Same Day Finish!)

 

Get ready for one of the most unique (and oddly satisfying) pottery classes we’ve ever dropped…

 

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your very own ceramic empanada incense holder — yes, it looks like food… but it’s actually functional art ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ฅ

 

You’ll start by learning the fundamentals of handbuilding with clay, including:

 

  • Slab building techniques
  • Coil construction for shaping and support
  • How to form and seal your empanada
  • Sculpting and crimping those iconic pastry edges

 

 

Then we take it up a notch…

 

Using a heat gun technique, we’ll speed up the drying process so you can:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Carve, refine, and shape your final design

๐Ÿ‘‰ Add your incense holder opening

๐Ÿ‘‰ Get your piece ready to glaze the same day

 

Finally, you’ll bring your empanada to life with our signature glaze system, designed to give that perfect “toasted pastry” finish โœจ

 

 

 

 

๐ŸฅŸ Choose Your Flavor:

 

 

What kind of empanada are you making?

 

  • ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ Fire Empanada – bold, spicy red toasted edges
  • ๐Ÿง€ Cheesy Empanada – golden melt-inspired glaze
  • ๐ŸŒฟ Herb Empanada – earthy, natural green tones
  • ๐ŸŒ™ Midnight Empanada – black with celestial gold details
  • ๐ŸฅŸ OG Empanada – classic toasted pastry finish

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
