What is pottery making?
Pottery making at SocialPottery involves a creative and hands-on experience where individuals can come to mold and shape own ceramic pieces. It’s a place where creativity meets relaxation, as guests work with clay to create something unique, either through hand-building or wheel-throwing.
It’s designed to accommodate all levels of experience, from beginners to more practiced potters, offering a space for learning, experimenting, and enjoying the craft of pottery. Plus, Social Pottery provides an opportunity to socialize, making it a great venue for parties and corporate events, where guests can book sessions online in advance to guarantee a spot for their pottery-making experience.
Firing Your Pottery
If your pottery gets damaged during glazing or firing, we’ll do our best to provide a replacement. Handmade pottery can be unpredictable, but we always strive to prevent issues. Embrace the creative journey with us!

You have an eight-week window to collect it from the initial notice. After ten weeks, we’ll donate uncollected items (unless we hear from you) due to limited storage space.
