Are you planning a special celebration or team-building activity? Consider hosting your event at Pottery Capital! We offer private events for birthdays, hens parties, corporate gatherings, team-building sessions, and more. Here are the details:
Availability: Private events can typically be arranged on Saturdays and Sundays. Weekday options may also be available upon request. Please contact us at least 10-15 days before your desired date to allow us to plan and block the dates accordingly.
Booking Procedure: Upon finalizing the date, time, and attendee count for your event, we will send you a payment link to secure the booking. Prior to booking, please review our FAQ section as refunds are not provided. For pregnant participants, it is advised to bring your own medical-grade gloves for the wheel and hand-building classes. Gloves are not necessary for the paint and sip class. Additionally, for hand-building and wheel classes, ensure your fingernails are short (approximately 2mm) as long nails can hinder molding or throwing on the wheel.

Please note: Pottery Making Is Volatile
You are choosing to endeavor in a craft that has many variables. In saying that, we do not guarantee that your pottery will make it back to you the way that you left it. We do our best to care for your work as if it were our own. Unfortunately, pieces break, pottery explodes, glazes run, cracks happen, pieces don't come out the way you expect them to be. It is something that's beyond our control too. Choosing to continue and book is your acknowledgment that you accept these variables as part of the learning process and understand that we will not refund, credit or replace any pottery that does not make it through the process. You are signing up for an experience, our environment, to co-create together and to enjoy learning with clay.
