Classes and Events
With a gallery full of ceramics, canvases and glassware to choose from, guests can drop in and pick a piece to paint or engrave anytime during walk-in hours. Inventory is consistently restocked with a wide variety of pottery.
The Art Bar also accommodates group bookings daily—perfect for birthdays, date nights and team outings. If the studio isn’t the right fit, events can be moved to wherever is most convenient.
