Private Handbuilding Party
Our Handbuilding Parties are both fun and instructive. We design these parties so that each person goes on their own creative adventure. You can also schedule a one on one private lesson with one of our teachers. During this hand-building event, each person will go on their own creative adventure. They will start with slabs of leather hard clay and by the end of the session, they will each have designed, decorated and painted a shallow bowl. In the process, they will learn basic handbuilding including using a variety of clay tools for decorating and texturing. Finally, they will paint their piece using colors of their choice. District Clay will bisque fire each piece, give them a final clear glaze and glaze fire it. The final work will be ready for pick-up 4-6 weeks after the event. COVID-19 entry requirements: Anyone entering District Clay must provide proof of vaccination (either a photo or paper vaccination card).

Private Wheel Throwing Party
Celebrate a birthday, anniversary, holiday or friends getting together to try their hands dirty at the pottery wheel. These are fun, laugh-filled and muddy events for members of your party. You can also schedule a one on one private lesson on the wheel with one of our teachers. Working on the pottery wheel is fun . . . and challenging. It requires eye to hand coordination, careful placement of your hands and firm control over a rapidly spinning wheel. Don't expect to make a perfect pot. But you will be thrilled when you cause a cylinder to rise out of a solid lump of clay using your own two hands.
