On the First Friday of the month, we are open from 6-9pm where you can come in to look around and purchase pottery.

At 7pm, if you are interested in trying the wheel out during our First Friday events, we schedule 45 minute sessions to take part in this opportunity.  A quick demonstration of throwing a pot is given.  Then everyone gets a chance to try throwing clay on their own wheel.  During this time, an instructor will be available to give hand-over-hand instruction to assist you in making a pot of your choice. 

Everybody keeps one piece (within the scale of a cereal bowl or coffee mug) which stays at the studio for finish work and firing.  When finished we notify you for pickup and, they are food-safe, dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe. 

Cost is $25/participant.  

Ages 5+ (children younger than 18 need be accompanied by an adult)

For upcoming dates, please refer to our Events Calendar (underneath).

We require pre-registration and pre-payment.  Please fill out the form underneath.  You will then receive an invoice which you can pay online.

Please show up no later than 6:45 if you will be throwing on the pottery wheels at the 7:00pm class.

About The Artist ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Introducing DOGMA, the driving force behind the most powerful dubstep sounds emerging from the heart of the Midwest. Dan, commonly known as DOGMA, is a rising star hailing from Chicago. Despite being in the early stages of his career, this talented artist has already made waves with his releases on renowned labels like Dim Mak, Subsidia, Buygore, Uplink Audio, and OneRPM as well as headlining monumental shows across the nation.

 

Previously engaged in the finance industry, Dan made the bold decision to pursue his true passion for bass music, leading him to embark on a full-time musical journey. Drawing inspiration from esteemed dubstep artists such as Trollphace, Downlink, Kill the Noise, and Borgore, he was particularly captivated by the aggressive and electrifying tearout style. In 2015, DOGMA was born, making his debut at the legendary venue, The Mid in Chicago. In 2018, he ventured into music production, quickly establishing himself as a formidable presence in the studio.

 

When DOGMA takes the stage, be prepared for an electrifying experience filled with boundless energy. His captivating live sets have graced the renowned stages of the Midwest’s most prestigious festivals, including Spring Awakening and Summer Camp. Within the dubstep scene of the region, DOGMA has become the go-to support act, setting the stage for iconic acts such as Zeds Dead, Svdden Death, Funtcase, Borgore, Trollphace, 12th Planet, Zomboy, and Rusko to name a few!

Learn the basics of setting up a pottery wheel to throw, the proper tools needed, how to prepare the clay through a process called "wedging," centering, throwing on the wheel and how to clean up.

We give a demonstration of how to throw a pot.  Next, we let you try by yourself for a short period of time.  Then we give assistance, as needed, to create your own piece which can literally exist forever (unless it is heated to 2500 fahrenheit:). You get to choose the glaze color of your piece.

This class qualifies a person to attend open studios and work independently. 

Materials and firing is covered in the cost for one piece (approximate maximum size-up to 6" tall x 6" width x 6" length).

Everyone keeps one piece. Additional pieces of equivalent size are $5 (covers material and firing costs).  These are paid for after the pottery session, if you create more than 1 piece you wish to keep.

Specialty Items are also available for additional cost.  These require additional time, material, and firing.

Pieces are kept at the studio for finish work, glazing and two kiln firings, and are picked up at a later date. When finished, everything is food-safe, dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe.

Ages 5+

No experience necessary

Pre-registration and pre-payment required.
