Learn the basics of handbuilding and surface decoration of clay! You can create functional dishes, decorative tiles and sculpture in pottery classes Houston TX. Coil, slab and pinch techniques are used to create your art piece. The pinch technique is similar to the way Native Americans created useful pots and bowls. Coiling consists of sausage-like coils of clay precisely set on top of each other to create vases, bowls, and other forms. In slab technique, the clay is rolled out flat, like using a rolling pin to flatten cookie dough. Explore the endless possibilities of handbuilding in this class and develop new ideas along the way! Make a simple, yet original impression of your loved one’s foot or hand, or use a significant object and capture a moment in time.

If you are looking for a great gift, something fun to do on the weekends, or just an outlet for your creativity, Houston pottery classes are where it is at! We believe painting pottery should be fun, relaxing and affordable for all ages.

Our welcoming studio offers a wide selection of pieces and a unique experience in a family-friendly atmosphere with a welcoming smile. You do not need a reservation! First, you will choose your piece of pottery. Then, decide which colors and imagination tools (like stencils and stamps) you will use to paint your beautiful, unique work of art. Next, let your creative juices flow freely at one of our tables, (or ask about our do-it-yourself, take-home kits!) as you doodle, design, and paint. When you are all finished, we will take it from there. The next step is to glaze and fire your finished art. Your completed piece will be dipped in a clear glaze and fired in an on-site kiln by one of our friendly, knowledgeable staff members. Leave it with us a few days, and we will notify you when your painted pottery is ready and available for pick up.

It's that easy! We have hundreds of bisque pieces to choose from to help you create your perfect, personal design. Pottery painting unleashes your creativity with fun paint colors, including speckled tones. All of our paints are non-toxic and lead free.
