Parties & Events at Queen City Clay

Queen City Clay offers private parties for all types of events including everything from 2-hour birthday parties to full day corporate team building programs.  We need a minimum of 2 weeks notice to plan your event so we can secure an instructor and make sure the appropriate space is available.  Please fill out the form at the bottom of this page to get the ball rolling on scheduling your party!

Wheel Throwing

Try your hand at the potter’s wheel!  Everyone is guaranteed to make a pot with the help of our skilled instructors.  Step by step demos, firing, and glaze included.  No experience necessary. Ages 8+ (Not a great option for kids under 8, as they lack the upper body strength needed for centering and become frustrated.)

2 hours, $60 per person.

6 person minimum, 30 person maximum.

 

Handbuilding

Perfect for those wanting to spend a little more time working on a specific project.  Participants work directly with the clay to mold an individual piece or work as a group to sculpt a masterpiece (great for team building!).  Groups working on individual projects can choose from a bud vase, mug, candle holder, planter, or small plate form.  Everyone in the party will do the same project.  Step by step instruction, firing, and glaze included. No experience necessary.  All ages.

2 hours, $60 per person.

6 person minimum, 40 person maximum.

 

 

Pottery Painting

A large selection of bisque ware, averaging $8-$20, is readily available for you to design, paint, and personalize your very own piece.  Our instructors will be there to help guide you and show you some special painting techniques.  Please stop by the store if you’d like ti see our selection ahead of time.  Functional items and figurines are kept in stock.
