Specialty Workshops
Beginner – Intermediate
At 24hr Pottery, we love offering workshops that help everyone grow as artists and explore new ways of working with clay. Our workshops are designed for both beginners and those with prior ceramic experience. We keep each session small—up to 10 students,
so everyone has the opportunity for individual guidance.
Explore our schedule and reserve your spot for workshops at any of our studios below
Throwing Off the Hump: Tiny Planters Edition
Learn the technique of throwing off the hump to create multiple small pots efficiently. This method saves time by eliminating the need to recenter each piece and allows you to work with a larger mound of clay. In this workshop, you’ll make 5-10 tiny pots or planters, perfect for succulents, saplings and starter plants this spring. Choose a glaze color for the rims, while the bases will remain unglazed for drainage to help prevent root rot.
A great skill to add to your wheel-throwing toolkit—join us in the studio and lets start creating!
Duration: 90-minutes
Cake Boxes & Jars Workshop
Learn to decorate cylinders with vibrantly colored slip, infused with Mason stains, to create boxes that look just like frosted desserts! Experiment with piping techniques to add realistic textures and designs. Your mugs will be bisque fired and clear glazed, sealing the “frosting” for a functional, food-safe finish.
Just try not to take a bite out of your clayke!
Duration: 90-minutes
Raku Firing Workshop
Arrive with up to four bisqued pieces ready to glaze and fire using traditional Raku techniques! You’ll select from a variety of specialized Raku glazes to create distinctive, shiny, and impressive finishes on your pottery.
Feel free to bring your favorite snacks and beverages to enjoy as we gather around the kiln, discuss all things Raku, and share in the excitement as your pieces transform. Engage with fellow pottery enthusiasts and leave with your finished pottery the very same day!
*Class may run longer than the estimated 2.5 hours.
**Please ensure your pieces are bisque fired before the workshop.
Our workshops are open to both members and the community, with a member discount available at checkout. We offer workshops at Seatown Pottery Green Lake & Madison Park,
as well as at our Eastside studios in Redmond and Bellevue.
Please ensure you verify the location of your class when booking.
