There’s something quietly magical about sitting down with a handmade piece of pottery and watching a blank canvas transform into something completely, unmistakably yours!
Hosted at my cozy home studio in Dana Point, this pottery painting class is the kind of experience that sounds intimidating until you’re five minutes in and completely obsessed. Perfect for beginners and seasoned creatives alike, you don’t need a steady hand, an art degree, or any prior pottery experience to create something beautiful!

My home studio can accommodate up to 10 guests, making it the perfect setting for an intimate and personalized experience. Prefer to bring the creativity to your own space?

Hi! I’m Hattie, the ceramic artist and owner behind Handmade Hattie! Ceramics has been my creative home since I was 16, when I first fell in love with clay in my high school ceramics classroom. I still remember the excitement of opening the kiln for the first time. It felt like Christmas morning! I loved that there was always an element of surprise, from seeing how a glaze transformed in the kiln to embracing the little imperfections that made each piece completely unique.
What started as a creative outlet eventually grew into Handmade Hattie, where I now create handmade ceramics and share my love of clay through classes and workshops throughout Orange County.
Teaching has become one of my favorite parts of what I do. I love watching someone come into a class convinced they aren't creative or won't be good at pottery, and then leave genuinely proud of what they made. My goal is to make ceramics feel approachable, relaxed, and fun, whether you're trying the pottery wheel for the first time, hand-building with clay, or painting a piece I've handmade in my studio.
I graduated from Chapman University in 2024 and have since turned Handmade Hattie into my full-time business. Today, I teach everything from intimate one-on-one wheel throwing lessons to private parties, community workshops, and larger group and team-building events. I love that ceramics gives people a reason to slow down, use their hands, and spend a few hours creating something that's entirely their own.
One of my favorite things about pottery is how much happens behind the scenes. After a class, I take every piece back to my studio, where it slowly dries before being fired, glazed, and fired again. What you make in a couple of hours actually continues its little journey in my studio for weeks before becoming a finished piece you can use and keep. There's something really special about that process, and getting to share a craft that's been such a big part of my life since I was 16 makes teaching it even more meaningful to me!
