HOW IT WORKS​

Over the course of two hours, we will walk you through the basics of wheel throwing, and a bit of handbuilding, while you and your guests create functional pieces of art! Absolutely no experience necessary! 

​

All tools and supplies will be provided, hands-on instruction is included and each participant will have the opportunity to create a food, drink, microwave, and dishwasher safe piece of pottery. 

 

Should you wish to keep what you make, one (1) finished work per person is included in the session price. However, additional pieces (up to 3 per person) can be finished for $10 per piece. This $10 firing fee for extra pieces kept, covers the cost associated with the extra labor, materials, and kiln space needed to finish these wares. That said, please note that the goal is to create and leave with one piece you enjoyed making, and look forward to utilizing at home! 

Additional pieces are not required to be purchased or kept, as the experience is intended to be all inclusive.

 

Your chosen piece(s) will be cleaned up, glazed, and fired by us in the available color(s) of your choosing. By the time they are complete, they will be food, drink, microwave, dishwasher, and even oven safe! Your handcrafted work(s) of art will be finished and ready for pickup in 6 weeks (give or take)! This process is a labor of love, as we put just as much care into your work, as we do our own. ​​​

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

For those who are 21+, we are BYOB friendly!

Snacks, beverages, and even small party decorations are always welcome!! 

​

Please note that food and drinks MUST be consumed within your designated 120 minute session. With several bookings each day, we will not be able to add extra time to your session, as doing such would disrupt surrounding scheduled events and classes. 

That being said, if pairing your pottery experience with a meal is desired, we are always happy to provide restaurant recommendations!! Gaslamp and East Village are full of (in my opinion), some of San Diego’s yummiest eateries! 

 

WHAT'S NEXT

We will respond to your contact form within 24-48 hours, after which point we will discuss booking availability, solidify a date and time, as well as send over an invoic​e payable directly online. 

​
To secure your date and time, your invoice is due in FULL, within seven (7) days of your date and time solidification. i.e. on Monday October 1st you decide that you would like for your Private event to take place on Thursday November 21st at 4pm. Your payment would then be due (in full) one week from October 1st, that being Monday October 8th.

If your session is scheduled for less than a week from you intended session date, then payment is due immediately upon scheduling.

 

Please note that Pinch runs solely on appointment based scheduling, and your mindfulness + consideration of our time and resources is greatly appreciated.

With that in mind, when you book a session with us, you are not only supporting a small business, but we are also holding a space for you within our (limited) booking calendar. This means that your scheduled time slot is no longer able to be booked by anyone else.

With that in mind, if payment in not received on time, we will be unable to hold your desired time slot, and ultimately place it back on the calendar for others to book.

​Thank you for understanding!
