Skip the chaos. Keep the creativity.
Celebrate your kid with an art party that’s full of color, energy, and hands-on fun—without turning your house upside down.
Our teaching artists lead the way, guiding kids ages 2 and up through projects they’ll feel proud to show off. We provide the materials, the setup, and the cleanup. You bring the snacks, decorations, and all the fun feels.
Parties take place in our bright, art-filled studios at 155 Gibbs Street, Studio 156, or Studio 100—with big windows, colorful artwork, and plenty of table space for painting, creating, and cake-eating.
Want to add a free guided gallery tour? Just ask. Booking for a nonprofit or scout group? You get 25% off.
We provide the wow, but we don’t provide plates, napkins, cups, utensils, or refrigeration.
Schedule Your Party
To get the best experience and secure your ideal date, we recommend booking at least four weeks in advance. We’ll do our best with last-minute requests, but early booking helps us plan, prep, and deliver the party your kid deserves.

We also offer private art experiences for school groups, which can be combined with gallery tours. Email Jamie Banaticla to learn more.

CERAMICS HANDBUILDING
There’s something magical about turning a lump of clay into something all their own.

CERAMICS WHEEL

CERAMICS WHEEL
Slightly messy, totally fun, and full of “I made this!” moments.
Each guest receives 1.5 pounds of clay and the tools needed to create their own wheel-thrown piece. Our instructor will walk your group through the process with demonstrations and hands-on support—expect a little mess and a lot of laughs.
Guests pick a glaze, we handle the firing magic, and everything’s ready to pick up about 10 business days later.
The base price includes a two-hour party led by our experienced instructor and classroom assistant, plus all the materials needed for a full wheel-throwing experience.
Planning to serve food? You’ll need to add a separate room rental to keep eating areas safely away from clay dust—we’re happy to help set that up.
