Join us during Open Studio for a fun & relaxing creative experience! You can paint your own pottery, hand-build with clay, or even throw clay on the pottery wheel. Our friendly and creative staff will get you started with all you need to create a masterpiece!
1. Paint-Your-Own-Pottery (better known as PYOP)
Choose from a wide variety of pre-made ceramic pieces. From home goods & kitchen-ware to kids sculptures and pet bowls, we'll help you create a usable, yet beautiful work of art you'll be proud to display in your home, office or gift to someone special! Your painted pottery will be fired and available for pickup in approximately 7-10 days.
2. Hand building: You'll receive 2 lbs of clay to sculpt into whatever you like. Even beginners, with a little bit of instruction, can make beautiful simple vessels like mugs, bowls, or planters. Your masterpiece will be fired and available for pick-up or painting in approximately 2-3 weeks.
3. Pottery Wheel:**
Throwing on the pottery wheel is an advanced skill that requires instruction and practice. You must have taken a Beginner and Intermediate level class at The Turquoise Cup to be eligible to throw independently without an instructor.
