Join us in the heart of our working studio for a weekly dose of creativity! Our Throwing Mini’s Clay Club is for anyone who wants to explore the endless possibilities of clay in a fun, relaxed, social environment. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned hobbyist, you’re invited to pull up a stool and create with us.

 
 

The Experience

These sessions are all about exploring mini creations on the wheel! You’ll pull up a stool, enjoy the relaxing flow of centering small amounts of clay, and craft your own mini pots, vases, vessels, or plates.

(Please note: Space is limited to 6 guests per session to ensure everyone gets hands-on wheel instruction!)

How it Works:

  • Flexible Attendance: Come once to try it out, or join us regularly to refine your mini-throwing skills.

  • The Process: As with all things clay, your minis won’t be ready to take home the same day. They need time to dry thoroughly and undergo their first firing in our kiln.

  • Glazing Your Pieces: After your clay session, you have two options to finish your creations with colorful and durable glazes:

    • Studio Glazing (Included): Queenston Pottery will glaze your pieces for you at no additional cost.

    • The Glazing Experience ($60): Book a dedicated hands-on session to return to the studio and glaze your creations yourself.

    You can select your preferred glazing option on the day of your session.

All levels welcome:

Just bring your curiosity (and clothes you don’t mind getting a little dusty); we’ll provide the clay, the wheels, the tools, and expert instruction!

Space is limited; book your spot!
