Clay Soirée
Clay Soirée
An evening of connection, creativity, and clay
Step into a cozy, candlelit studio for an evening that feels part dinner party, part creative escape. Clay Soirée is more than a pottery class—it’s a carefully curated experience designed to spark connection, joy, and inspiration.
This 2-hour workshop blends good food, good company, and the joy of creating something with your own hands. No prior experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to play with clay.

Clay Soirées aren’t just pottery classes; they’re thoughtfully curated evenings meant to spark connection and creativity. Each one blends art, intention, and atmosphere to create something rare: a space where you can slow down and make something that matters.
Here’s what sets our gatherings apart:
A sensory experience. Enjoy curated snacks, drinks, and Nespresso coffee in a cozy, candlelit studio to fuel your creativity.
An intentional beginning. Every Soirée starts with a reflective writing prompt to ground you in gratitude and creativity.
Personal touches. Each guest receives a small notebook to keep. Perfect for jotting down reflections or sketches during class.
Full-circle craftsmanship. with step-by-step hand-building instruction, all clay, tools, and materials provided. Your piece is carefully glazed and fired by your instructor, making it both beautiful and functional.
Community over perfection. With only 12 guests per evening, our focus is connection, conversation, and the joy of making, not flawless results.
Every Soirée is designed to leave you inspired, grounded, and a little muddy-handed in the best way with special surprises… each Soirée has its own little quirks.
