Birthday party, corporate event, bachelorette or bachelor party? We will create an unforgettable experience for your occasion!

Our packages start for groups of 4 people. Each package includes hot drinks, sweets and the workshop is booked exclusively for your event.

Once made, your beautiful handmade clay works will stay with us for firing and clear glazing. You’ll return a few weeks later to collect. Unless you choose for a workshop with air dry clay and create non-food safe objects. In that case you will be able to pick up your work on the same day as air dry clay doesn't require firing.

We can also host an offsite workshop. The cost of it is calculated individually and depends on many factors.

The whole studio will be for you and your guests. We do not provide catering, but you are welcome to bring your own cakes and snacks. We have a minimum booking requirement of 6 and a maximum of 12. In the Pottery wheel party we can host only 5 persons. Deposit: 6 seats (minimum, and for the pottery wheel party 5 seats) will need to be purchased beforehand to confirm the date and time. Drinks and food are allowed during class, but this will shorten the lesson time. If you need additional time, we have a half-hour option you can purchase before or after the party for a fee of €30.

Roughly the 2 hours are divided in the following way:

• The first 15 minutes are for arrival, seating, and learning what kids will do in the workshop.
• Around 15 minutes are for blowing out candles, eating birthday cake and other nibbles.
• Children then spend up to 75 minutes on the chosen activity.
• The last 15 minutes is spent unpacking the presents and packing up.

Each Birthday Package also Includes:

• Private studio space (access available 15 minutes prior to party, and 15 minutes post party to gather your belongings)
• Plates, cups, forks and napkins.
• Refrigerator available for food storage.
