Private Events at Tao of Clay

Tao of Clay offers tailored private events where groups can enjoy hands-on pottery lessons, creating unique pieces under expert guidance. All tools and supplies are provided, and each participant’s work will be glazed and fired for pickup in about six weeks, with shipping options available if needed.

  • Custom Lessons

    Tao of Clay offers private group lessons in both hand-building and throwing, tailored to suit your party’s needs. Both activities are beginner-friendly, with hand-building providing the opportunity to complete a finished piece from a variety of project options. While throwing is a fun and engaging activity to try, it’s not something that can be fully learned or result in a finished project within a 2-hour session—it’s just for the fun experience of giving it a go! Our staff will help you choose the perfect project for your group, ensuring a memorable and creative experience.

  • Real Craft

    All tools and supplies are provided, along with hands-on instruction. The cost includes one completed piece per person. After the event, we’ll glaze and fire your creations using our custom-developed in-house glazes. Your finished wares will be ready for pickup at our studio in approximately six weeks, and we can arrange shipping if needed.
