FAQs

What do we do?

Pottery Studio 1 is a ceramic studio in NYC offering pottery wheel classes, hand-building workshops, and paint-your-own pottery sessions. We welcome individuals, couples, families, and private groups — from casual creative evenings to birthdays and corporate events.

Who are your classes for?

For everyone ages 3 and up. Kids, teens, adults, total beginners — no experience is required. About 90% of our guests try pottery for the first time here.

When are your classes held?

Classes are held every day from 11 a.m.- 9 p.m. They last 2 hours.

In a lesson, you will have time to make 1-2 clay products using both a potter's wheel and hand-building. Your instructor will explain and demonstrate each step in the process.

When do classes take place?

Classes run daily, from morning to evening. A typical session lasts around 2 hours and includes instruction, hands-on practice, and guidance from an instructor.

What will I do during the class?

You will make dishes and other tableware items based on your own designs. You could make a mug, glass, vase, bowl, candle holder, aroma lamp, jar or something else.

How much does it cost?

A standard pottery class costs $90 per person for a 2-hour session. This includes materials and firing. Classes with glazing or painting options typically cost around $130, depending on the format.

Can I book a private event or group class?

Yes! We host private group events for up to about 20 people. Perfect for birthdays, bachelorettes, corporate team-building, date nights, and celebrations.

What’s included in the class?

Clay, tools, use of the pottery wheel, instructor guidance, and firing of your piece. Glazing or painting is included if you choose that type of class.

When can I pick up my finished pottery?

After the class, your piece needs time to dry and be fired in the kiln. This usually takes 2–3 weeks. Once ready, you can pick it up at the studio.
