Inclusions / Exclusions

  • Mobile ticket
  • Offered in: English
  • Clay, materials, use of fully-equipped pottery studio, and the guidance of our teachers who are all local ceramic artists who volunteer their time to share their passion for clay
  • We start each pottery class by dolling out drinks (we’ve got a variety of beverages to chose from, and you’re welcome to BYOB as well).

Overview

All of our pottery experiences are one-time, two-hour sessions guided by local Santa Fe artists and geared toward travelers, newbies, and anyone looking for a fun introduction to pottery. At the end of class, students will recycle their pieces, but you need not walk away empty handed. Each student gets $15 off of a piece from our gallery, which is full of pottery handcrafted by our teachers. In the wheel-throwing experience, students will dive into the most popular method of making ceramics. Working at the wheel is a meditative, yet challenging process. In this two-hour class, our potters will take you through the process of throwing a piece of pottery on the wheel. In our hand-building experience, students will learn the ancient techniques of working with clay by hand through sculpting, coil-building, or slab-building. The slowness of these methods allow for deeper connection with the material and total freedom of expression through clay.

Very fun couple of hours!

Published on Dec, 2024

Fun and plenty of time to keep attempting a creative piece haha. Highly recommend for a couple of hours. Wear no hand jewelry and aprons are provided but there will be splash!

Wonderful Pottery Classroom Experience

Published on Jan, 2024

Had a great time with the entire family. The instruction was great and it was super cool being able to work in the studio amongst the artists for a couple hours. We were all super thrilled with our finished pieces, even if it meant destroying them at the end!

Enlightening to the craft

Published on Nov, 2023

Helpful, patient, informative instructor. Fun and a great experience. Highly reccommend. Went with my teenage granddaughter

So glad we did this!

What a wonderful experience. Our instructor, Joan, was very knowledgeable and patient. It was a very fun introductory course of throwing pottery with a wheel.

Fun afternoon activity in Santa Fe!!!

Published on May, 2023

Had a super fun experience at Paseo!!! We got to learn the basics about throwing pottery on a wheel, and it inspired both of us to take a series of classes once we got back home to Colorado! Thank you Paseo--and Aio for the fun class!!
