Clay Workshops in Claremont, NC
Make something real in one evening. Our one-night clay workshops at CREATIVE Clay are hands-on and relaxed, with a teacher beside you every step. No experience needed, come as you are.
Every workshop is its own listing with its own date, so you can see how many seats are left. Workshops change with the seasons, so check back often. Looking for kids? See our kids clay classes and workshops. Looking for a multi-week course? See our clay classes.
Holiday workshops on now
Clay Butter Dishes
Shape slabs of clay into a dish and a fitted lid using our templates and tools, and add your own texture. You pick your glaze color that night and we glaze and fire it for you, usually ready in about 3 to 4 weeks.
Monday Nov 16, 6–8pm · $60
Clay Ornaments
We roll your clay on our slab roller, then you pick cookie cutters, lace, stamps and textures and make three ornaments. We fire them, then you come back to CREATIVE to glaze them. Come in by Saturday, Dec 19 and we'll rush them so they're ready for Christmas.
Tuesday Nov 17, 6–8pm · $35 for 3 ornaments
Clay Candle Holders
Learn three simple hand-building methods (pinching, coiling and slab building), then shape and decorate your candle holder. You pick your glaze color that night and we glaze and fire it, usually ready in about 3 to 4 weeks. Want more? Make 2 more at class for $20, paid at the studio.
Wednesday Nov 18, 6–8pm · $30 for 1 holder
Clay Christmas Trees
Hand-build a Christmas tree from clay and add your own texture and details. Before you leave, choose how to finish it: pick a color and we dip it for you, or come back and paint it yourself. Painting for Christmas? Come in by Saturday, Dec 19.
Monday Nov 23, 6–8pm · $60
