A clay party is a fantastic way to celebrate milestones, bond with co-workers, or reconnect with old friends. During our clay parties, attendees will work with a teacher to create a hand-made clay project. Projects can be picked up 3-4 weeks after your party, leaving attendees with a lasting memory of your event.

Capacity: Minimum of 6 students. Maximum 12 adults for a handbuilding party, 10 adults for a wheel party
*Maximums are subject to change according to our covid19 protocols.

Tuition: $65 per student for a 2 hour party. Please pay for 6 seats minimum to secure the party date at least a week before the scheduled party. We need final numbers and full payment 48 hours prior to the event.

Scheduling: Parties need to be planned 2 WEEKS in advance of the event.

Project notes: Firing fees and materials are included in the tuition fee. Students keep up two 2 of their artworks. Projects will be ready for pickup approximately 3-4 weeks after date of your party. You may discuss project ideas with your instructor in advance of your party.

*While CAC makes every effort to help participants make beautiful and successful works of art during their party, we cannot guarantee perfect results. Works might crack or break during the firing or glazing process and glazes can have unpredictable results. As with any ceramic project, some objects might not make it through the firing process. These classes are geared towards a creative “making” experience rather than an end product. That said, projects made by party participants will be glazed and fired in a timely manner and with the utmost care.

Food and beverages: Drinks are allowed inside during class. Food is allowed inside for an additional half hour before or after the party for a fee of $60. We have picnic tables outside that you are welcome to use, weather permitting. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANUP.

Gratuity: *please note that instructor gratuity is not included in tuition price

Cancellations: You can cancel up to 72 hours before the party with a $50 cancellation fee. What you paid for the party is not refundable within 72 hours of the party.
