Create Your Clock Base

Create Your Clock Base

Start by shaping your own wall clock from a large clay slab. You’ll cut, carve, and design your piece, adding personal details that make it one of a kind.


Add Color with Glaze

Add Color with Glaze

Once your clock is assembled, bring it to life with a selection of colorful glazes. Experiment with tones, patterns, and finishes to match your style and create a design you’ll love.


Firing and Finishing

Firing and Finishing

After class, your clock will stay in the studio to dry before its first firing. It will then be finished with a clear glossy glaze and fired again, giving your piece a smooth, polished shine.


Pick Up and Display

Pick Up and Display

When your clock is ready, you’ll return to pick it up fully assembled with clock hands installed — ready to hang and enjoy as a functional piece of art in your space.


Design something functional and personal in this ceramic clock-making class in San Francisco, perfect for beginners. Skip the basics and dive straight into the fun — your clay slabs will be prepped and ready so you can focus on shaping, styling, and bringing your vision to life.
Start by cutting your clock face into any form you like, from classic circles to bold, freeform designs. Then, sculpt and attach your own numbers, symbols, or decorative elements to make it one of a kind. Once your structure is complete, you’ll add color and personality using underglazes — whether your style leans minimal or playful. After your piece is fired, a working clock mechanism will be installed, transforming your creation into a fully functional work of art.
This hands-on pottery class is perfect for date nights, group activities, and anyone looking for a beginner's ceramics class or fun things to do in SF. Walk away with a custom ceramic clock that’s equal parts stylish and practical!
