Enjoy a creative date night at picturesque Thoreson Farm. Bring a picnic to share before or after class, then dive into learning basic wheel-throwing techniques as a couple. During this hands-on experience, you and your partner will be guided in creating a set of bowls or cups on the pottery wheel. Through step-by-step instructions, you’ll have the option to personalize your pieces with underglaze designs or let Ana finish them with a glaze of your choice. This class is perfect for beginners and anyone looking to spend a unique, romantic, and creative evening with a loved one.
After kiln firing, your completed pieces will be available for pick-up at a later date, ready to remind you of your special night!
