Workshops @Ballard Clay

Interested in having a private event at Ballard Clay? We host hand-building or throwing classes for private groups of 4+. Please email us at info@ballardclay.com if you are interested in bringing a group of friends or co-workers in for an event.

We are an adult studio, so we do not have kids under 14 and we do not have a large group of kids. We are not set up well for little people and we do not have certifications for unsupervised children.

For ongoing classes and series classes please visit the studio page.

  • One Time Wheel Classes

    Sip N Spin &

    These classes are a fully instructed, fun, 2-hour introduction to the basic techniques on the wheel. Great for beginners or as a refresher. This class only focuses on wet clay on the pottery wheel. We do all the prep and the cleanup!

    Participants can choose one piece to be trimmed and fired by the studio. These can be picked up 3-4 weeks after class.

    No experience is required, all levels of experience welcome! These are the same exact class except Sip N’ Spin classes are 21+ and folks can BYOB if they would like. Try- it class allows ages 14+ with participating adult.

  • Make A Mug

    One of our most popular and approachable classes. This is a classic for anyone who wants to spend a few hours with their hands in clay making a functional item to be enjoyed daily.

    We will guide participants through the steps to design and construct a 12 oz mug. Participants will be able to customize and build one mug and choose from our studio glazes for our staff to glaze.

    Keep it, give it as a gift, use it everyday!
