The studio offers a range of group and individual experiences designed for different ages and interests, including birthday parties, adult Sip & Paint evenings, week-long summer camps (morning and afternoon sessions), focused build-a-mug workshops, charcuterie board clay projects, and Mud Days hand-building sessions.
Programs at the studio are instructor-guided and structured to take participants through practical steps of working with clay, glazing, and finishing. For example, the Build A Mug experience uses mid-fire clay and guided design choices, while Charcuterie Your Way begins with slab building, bisque firing, and a return paint session. The Sip & Paint evenings are designated for guests aged 19 and over and include pottery painting alongside two glasses of wine. Summer camps run as week-long sessions and cover clay, pottery, mosaics, and painting with a different theme each week.
