Pottery Party Workshop

If you're looking for the perfect activity for your next special event, throw a pottery party in San Francisco! Our 2-hour sessions are thoughtfully designed to ignite inspiration and provide a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere! You are even welcome to BYOB! This is the perfect activity for birthdays, team building, or just a unique outing with friends.

Our pottery parties concentrate on handbuilding techniques, not wheel throwing. This approach is particularly great for beginners as it allows for immediate success and creativity, making it easier to mold and shape the clay with your own hands. It’s a calming, therapeutic process that everyone can enjoy.

We’ve hosted a wide range of groups, from 4th-grade Girl Scouts crafting mugs to 5th graders making pinch pots, and from adult team-building mug exchanges to lively bachelorette and birthday parties. Our studio is experienced in catering to diverse needs, including friend groups, school groups, and more, ensuring each workshop is memorable and fun.

During these interactive workshops, you will learn essential handbuilding techniques under the guidance of our experienced instructors. You’ll have the chance to shape your own mugs, vases, or pinch pots—creating lasting memories along with your unique ceramic pieces.

Feel free to collaborate with us to design a project that perfectly suits your group's interests. Whether it’s crafting a personalized gift or something fun for your home, we’re here to make it happen.

After the fun, choose your glaze color and leave the rest to us. We handle everything from bisque firing to glazing, and a final glaze firing. Your finished pieces will be ready for pickup within 3-4 weeks, carefully wrapped and waiting. We use stoneware clay and mid-fire glazes at Studio Sumi, making your creations both microwave and dishwasher safe.
