The Clayroom’s knowledgeable staff helps budding artisans create their own ceramic masterpieces during hands-on pottery-painting sessions. Patrons peruse hundreds of premade pieces to find a favorite before slathering their selections in an unlimited amount of vibrant paint or a finite quantity of drab sasquatch fur. Clay whisperers then place freshly colored works-in-progress in a kiln for firing and then return to The Clayroom a few days later to retrieve their finished creations. Like a candle’s grandmother, two working fireplaces cultivate a warm, inviting atmosphere inside the studio, which treats guests to free pizza on Tuesday nights.

The Clayroom's studio fees vary throughout the week.
