Monthly Semi-Private Pottery Workshops

Catoctin Creek Pottery offers monthly semi-private pottery workshops!

These semi-private, one-day pottery workshops are offered monthly and are open to individual sign-ups rather than private group bookings. Each workshop is inspired by the current or upcoming season or holiday, giving every session a fresh theme and creative direction.

Registration is open to anyone, with attendance capped at a maximum of 6 participants. This small-group format creates a semi-private experience — intimate, relaxed, and personal — while still welcoming a mix of participants who may not know each other. Spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

During the workshop, you’ll explore approachable slab-building and decorating techniques while creating a functional, one-of-a-kind ceramic piece. With fewer people in the studio, you’ll receive more individual guidance, have space to experiment, and enjoy meaningful creative time without the feel of a large class.

The pottery experience is thoughtfully designed with a theme and hosted in a private setting exclusively for workshop participants in a creative and relaxed environment.

What’s included: Semi-private setting for workshop participants; full set-up and cleanup; guided instruction; all materials, tools, and equipment usage; clay, glazes, and supplies; sanding, bisque firing, and glaze firing.

Once all projects have been glazed fired, I will coordinate a scheduled pickup.

Workshops are open to ages 16+, and ages 10–15 with a registered parent.
