Kick off your holiday celebrations with a touch of creativity!
Before you head out to the local parades, wineries, or fireworks, join us at Queenston Pottery for a special Canada Day clay workshop.
Whether you are a local resident or visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake for this mid-week celebration, our 90-minute session is a fun, hands-on way to make memories with family and friends.
Kick off the mid-week celebration with a touch of creativity! Join us for a fun, 90-minute hands-on clay workshop where you'll sculpt and personalize your own stoneware tumbler. Enjoy a refreshing glass of Iced Tea, tour the gallery, and make a lasting holiday memory in wine country. No experience needed!
The Experience:
Each participant will begin with one "leather-hard" stoneware tumbler as their canvas. Using specialized tools and expert guidance, you’ll sculpt expressive faces, local nature motifs, unique textures, or a design that feels entirely your own. No prior pottery experience is needed; we will be right there to help you bring your vision to life!
What’s Included:
One stoneware tumbler to sculpt and personalize.
All materials, tools, and professional instruction.
Professional glazing and kiln firing to 1330°C by our team, making your finished piece completely food-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-safe.
Refreshing glass of Iced Tea
Full access to explore our multi-tiered gallery collections.
Finished pieces will be ready for pickup (or shipping) in 6-12 weeks.
Who is it for?
Perfect for visitors, locals, families, besties, or anyone looking to try something creative. Recommended for ages 12 and up. (Have a slightly younger creative child? If they are able to focus for the session and work independently with guidance, we are happy to welcome them!)
