Event Overview

In this fun session, we meet you at a local venue for some ClayPlay!

This is a great chance to relax and enjoy making something unique in a fun and social setting. Each Pop-Up experience includes tools and supplies, along with expert guidance to complete the project. We'll decorate with textures and other fun things, and then you'll select a finished glaze color.

After the workshop, everything goes back to the studio for a little TLC and some drying time before going into the kiln. Finished work is ready in 2-4 weeks, depending on the workshop.

Once everything is ready, we'll give you a shout with instructions to make a pickup appointment at the clay studio (located in Ravenswood, near Irving Park Rd). Shipping is available if you can't make it to the studio to collect your work in person.

May 2026: Flower pots! Design a 5" flowerpot and make a snazzy new home for your plant buds. 2 chances to come out and play (each is a standalone workshop, not a series):

- #1 - Saturday, May 16, 2026 - Pilot Project Brewery - Logan Square, 2140 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago

- #2 - Sunday, May 31, 2026 - Pilot Project Brewery - Wrigleyville, 3473 N Clark St, Chicago
