2 hours Location Inner Richmond Class size 1 to 10 guests   $69

Clay, coffee, and good vibes–this pottery class is your perfect creative reset. Join this pottery studio for Maker’s Monday, one of the most uplifting art classes in San Francisco. In this two-hour clay making class, you’ll learn how to make a mug, a bowl, or any ceramic piece your imagination dreams up.
Don’t worry if you’ve never touched clay before–our friendly, funny instructors break down the basics so even total beginners feel right at home. You’ll explore pottery techniques like handbuilding, scoring, slipping, and surface decoration while unwinding with coffee, tea, or your favorite BYOB drink. It’s a laid-back, joyful way to dive into ceramics classes and discover one of the most fun things to do in San Francisco.
Once your masterpiece is shaped, choose your glaze and we’ll handle the rest. In four weeks, your finished, microwave-safe creation will be ready to take home and show off!
