Pottery Painting & Pints
Looking for a unique Monday night out in the neighbourhood? We’ve teamed up with our local favourites at HPH for a cozy, creative evening of pottery painting!
Grab a friend and join us as our expert potter guides you step-by-step to paint a gorgeous wolf-and-forest design on a hand-thrown ceramic plate. Absolutely no experience needed—we bring the clay, you bring the creativity, and HPH supplies the awesome pub vibes! Afterwards, we’ll head back to the studio to glaze and fire your plate so it’s food-safe, functional, and ready for pickup in a few weeks.
(Note: To thank our hosts, we kindly ask for a $10 minimum spend on food/drinks per guest).
Where: Hintonburg Public House (1020 Wellington St W)
Duration: 2.5 hours of stress-free, guided painting
Includes: Hand-thrown ceramic plate, all painting supplies, professional glazing/firing, and instruction
Age Limit: 19+
