Handbuilding Parent & Child Workshop

Handbuilding Parent & Child Workshop

$75.00

This workshop is for children ages 7+ with an adult guardian

Come spend creative time together in this fun, beginner-friendly handbuilding workshop designed for parents and kids! In this 2-hour session, each parent and child will handbuild one piece each — choose to make a pinch bowl or mug, then add your own unique touches using simple decoration and attachment techniques. You’ll also have time at the end to paint your creations with underglaze before we glaze a clear glossy coat and fire them for you.

This workshop is a wonderful way to explore clay together and make a functional piece you can treasure at home. No experience needed — just bring your imagination and enjoy the process!\

  • Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your session begins. We allow a 15-minute grace period to ensure everyone has a smooth and enjoyable experience.
  • Parents are responsible for supervising their child throughout the entire workshop.
  • Safety instructions will be provided at the start of the session — please ensure your child follows them.
  • For everyone’s safety, please make sure your child does not run inside the studio, especially near our kilns and pottery shelves.
  • Our studio contains delicate ceramic works and equipment. If any pieces are accidentally broken by a child, the parent will be responsible for any related charges.
  • We cannot be held responsible for any personal items left behind, so please remember to take all your belongings with you when you leave.
  • Finished pieces must be picked up within 1 month of notification. After this time, unclaimed items will be discarded.
  • Pottery is a delicate process, and sometimes pieces may crack or break during drying or firing. This can happen for many reasons—like air bubbles forming while you pulled up the clay, not enough compression at the base, drying too quickly due to weather, or issues during kiln firing. While we do our best to prevent this and it doesn’t happen often, we can’t guarantee that every piece will survive the full process 100% of the time. It’s all part of the pottery journey—and at Clayground, we embrace the wabi-sabi mindset: perfectly imperfect.
