Birthday Parties

Speaking of Birthday Parties, want to keep those kids or adults engaged? How about sending everyone home with presents they created. Our Birthday Party program is usually 2-3 hours where guests can work on 2-3 projects with a studio potter. Ever try a kiln Pizza? What a hit for birthday eats. Party hosts bring on their favorite pizza and we fire it in the original brick oven. You supply the food and drink, we supply the clay, the fun and the fire. Call us to book your special event.
 
Bride and Groom Shower Parties

Here's a real unique idea. Why not schedule the entire bridal party with significant others to come into the studio and decorate a set of dishes of bowls for the bride and groom? Together with studio potters we can also make a large salad bowl to complete the set. What a super way to remember friends and fond memories after the ceremony. We'll help you cater the party, do a kiln pizza. Howabout kiln Lasagne with breadsticks and wine while you and your best friends help you create that lasting memory.
 
Anniversary Parties

Remember the movie "Ghost" with actress Demi Moore? Well we can give you a special night with the lights down low and the candles in the background. But first we'll show you how. Heck, we'll even supply music and the clay. The rest is up to you. (Married Adults only please)
 
Commission Work

Looking for that unique set of plates, need a special mug for a friend. How about that accent piece for your garden. Our studio potters can most likely help you out. Feel free to visit the gallery pages for photos of our member's works, or just give us a call and we'll link you up with a potter who can fill your needs.
 
Boy Scout Merit Badges

Hey this merit badge is hard work, but what scout is afraid of getting a little dirty. If we can get 6-10 scouts signed up we'll give them a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Not only will scouts learn about pottery and ceramics. They'll be making the clay they will use to create the required projects. At the end of the process, scouts will glaze and fire pots in the wood fired kiln located just 10 miles from Dubuque on a beautiful farm. Scouts may have the opportunity to invite the troop for a campout since the kiln firing ususally takes 2 full days. While not firing the kiln scouts can earn those service hours helping build birdhouses for the farm, clearing wood and doing maintainance work with studio potters. This is a super experience that will not be equalled in any High School Art program. Call for more information.
