Your partner's hands are on yours. Something is either going to take shape or hilariously collapse — either way, the two of you are in it together.\n\nAt $96 per couple, you share a single wheel and an artist-instructor who walks you through every wobble. From that one spinning mound you each pull a finished piece — choose from 6 projects: a bowl, candle holder, vase, cup, pot, or wine tumbler. You press your own marks into the surface with Smashed Profile Tools before handing the pieces off to be fired.\n\nA few weeks later you come back to glaze. Lead-free Color + Shine finishes make both pieces dinnerware- and dishwasher-safe, so what started as a date ends up on your actual shelf. You can also add a Plant or Candle Kit at the studio to complete the project.\n\nNo pottery background needed — none. Bring whatever you're drinking (21+) and show up ready to make a mess.","brand":"Public House Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Couple \/ Downtown Eau Claire · Public House Pottery","offer_id":51633265934614,"sku":null,"price":96.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/4629\/8646\/files\/4.png?v=1785554728"},{"product_id":"throwing-experience","title":"Throwing Experience","description":"You sit down at the wheel, the clay goes on, and within about 30 seconds you understand why people get obsessed with this. It's slippery and stubborn and yours all at once.\n\nChoose 1 of 6 projects — bowl, candle holder, vase, cup, pot, or wine tumbler — and throw it on the wheel while the studio does what it's supposed to do: keep you too busy with your hands to think about anything else. Once the shape is where you want it, you press surface patterns into the wet clay with profile tools to make it look like yours specifically.\n\nYou leave the piece here. It goes through the kiln while you go live your life, and when it comes out the other side it's a real, fired object that didn't exist before tonight. If you want color and shine on the finished piece, you can add glazing for an extra fee before you go.\n\nThursday through Saturday the studio runs until 11pm, so this works as an actual night out. Anyone 8 and up can throw on their own; the wheel doesn't care how old you are or how many times you've done this, which is zero, which is fine.","brand":"Public House Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Solo \/ Downtown Eau Claire · Public House Pottery","offer_id":51637037072662,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Couple \/ Downtown Eau Claire · Public House Pottery","offer_id":51637037138198,"sku":null,"price":96.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Child \/ Downtown Eau Claire · Public House Pottery","offer_id":51637037203734,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Child+1 \/ Downtown Eau Claire · Public House Pottery","offer_id":51637037302038,"sku":null,"price":86.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/4629\/8646\/files\/5.png?v=1785556468"},{"product_id":"handbuilding-experience","title":"Handbuilding Experience","description":"There's no agenda here. You pick your form — a chunky planter, a set of mismatched plates, an ashtray with attitude, something sculptural that hasn't been named yet — and you start building.\n\nAn instructor shows you how to pinch, coil, and slab your way into whatever you're making, then steps back and lets you work at your own pace with proper small-batch production tools. The clay remembers every fingerprint and every correction, which is most of what makes the finished piece worth keeping.\n\nWhen your session ends, we fire each piece.  Add Color + Shine with glaze before it goes into the kiln for a second firing.\n\nNo wheel, no prior experience, no pressure to produce anything symmetrical. Come in on your own, bring a friend, or make it a running Saturday habit. Your piece will be ready for pickup once firing is complete.","brand":"Public House Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Maker \/ Downtown Eau Claire · Public House Pottery","offer_id":51637334343958,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/4629\/8646\/files\/SmashedHeros_2000_x_2000_px.png?v=1785628711"},{"product_id":"glaze-let-it-drip","title":"Glaze, Pour \u0026 Fire","description":"The piece is already made. Your job is the color.\n\nYou start with a finished ceramic form and a decision: do you want the even fade of glaze, the control of a loaded brush, or the way poured glaze finds its own path down the curve of a bowl? This workshop runs through all three techniques, so you feel the difference between them in your hands before you commit to one.\n\nColored glazes behave differently from the underglazes used in regular workshops — they're applied directly to the surface and shift during firing, deepening in places you didn't expect, softening edges, pooling slightly in the recesses. What goes into the kiln and what comes out are related but not identical, and that gap is most of the fun.\n\nNo throwing, no wedging, no prior ceramics experience needed. You're here to work with surface and color, and the piece will carry whatever you put into it. Your finished work goes into the kiln after the session and is ready for pickup once it's fired.\n\nWear something you'd wear to paint in — glaze washes off skin easily but can stain fabric.","brand":"Public House Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Maker \/ Downtown Eau Claire","offer_id":51736836866326,"sku":null,"price":24.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/4629\/8646\/files\/16.png?v=1786069019"},{"product_id":"studio-membership","title":"Studio Membership","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurchase: monthly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod: calendar month\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded sessions: 4 sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRedemption: 1 session per booking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice: $175.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Slow Made","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742032822550,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/4629\/8646\/files\/MixologySetup-5.jpg?v=1787284920"},{"product_id":"throw-a-pumpkin","title":"Throw a Pumpkin","description":"The clay goes on the wheel as a lump and leaves as a pumpkin. That part takes longer than it sounds, and your hands will figure out why about three minutes in.\n\nYour instructor walks the group through centering, opening, and pulling up the walls before you coax the shape into something round and ribbed and undeniably gourd-like. It never looks exactly like the one next to you, which is the point. Every ridge you press in is yours.\n\nFirst-timers are not just tolerated here — this whole thing is built for them. You don't need to know what you're doing when you sit down. You need to not mind getting clay under your nails.\n\nAfter you finish throwing, your piece goes into the kiln.
