Join us for a fun, two-hour pottery session where you'll learn the basics of wheel throwing (or hand building) with a local Santa Fe ceramic artist. Enjoy a welcome drink, take a tour of our vibrant studio, and then get your hands in the clay! At the end of class, you'll receive $15 off any piece from our gallery of handcrafted pottery. Perfect for beginners, travelers, or anyone looking for a creative escape.

Experience the excitement of moving glowing red hot pottery into a can of combustibles that burst into flames, slamming the lid on it to create an oxygen reduced atmosphere, taking out your charred pieces and cleaning them off to reveal the exciting and beautiful results of a Raku firing. Bring your own bisqueware (cone 04-10) or purchase bisqueware from our studio for firing. Please email info@paseopottery.com at least 3 days prior to the workshop if you plan on purchasing bisqued pieces from us.

In this hands-on pottery workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to craft your very own bong or pipe out of clay! Guided by expert pottery instructors, you’ll learn the basics of handbuilding techniques and shape your own unique, functional piece. Whether you're an experienced potter or a complete beginner, this workshop will be fun, educational, and a great chance to create something personal. Your piece will be fired and ready for the Paint-Your-Own Workshop or pick-up by 4/20.

Celebrate 4/20 by painting your own bong or pipe! In this relaxed and fun class, you’ll be provided with a pre-made, fired piece ready to be personalized with colorful designs, patterns, and fun details. No experience is required—just bring your creativity! You’ll leave with a unique piece, and we'll take care of the glazing and firing to give it that shiny, smooth finish. For those who crafted their own pieces at our previous workshop, bring it back to paint at a discounted price.

Sign up for both workshops and save! You’ll get to craft your own bong or pipe in the first class (4/6), and then come back on 4/20 to paint it. This package is perfect for those who want a fully personalized piece and an unforgettable experience.

Join us for a fun, two-hour pottery session where you'll learn the basics of wheel throwing and hand building with a local Santa Fe ceramic artist.

In this six-class Advanced Wheel Workshop, we will dive into the world of cruets. What are cruets? These small pouring vessels, used for olive oil, vinegar and soy sauce, have endless possibilities without being as daunting as a teapot. We will work on bottle forms, spouts, and stopper lids. We will also discuss what makes a set, and work on other functional and handheld tabletop forms such as shakers, spice bowls, and lidded jars.

Join us every third Friday for a fun night of creativity and conversation! Mingle with singles, share funny (or disastrous) dating stories, then paint a tile that will be fired and ready for pickup in 5 days. Each month, we’ll have a new icebreaker prompt to keep things fresh and fun! Whether you’re an artist or a beginner, it’s a great way to meet people and unleash your creativity.

Date: Third Friday of the month, 7-9 PM. Limited spots available!

The first Friday of every month from 5-8 PM Paseo Pottery hosts a Pottery Throw Down to celebrate our local non-profit organizations. Each month we will invite a local non-profit and proceeds from the event are donated to them as our way of saying THANKS for the important work they do in Santa Fe. There will be live pottery demos, libations, music, and a chance for newbies to try their hand at the wheel with the help of our volunteers. Grab a friend, and come play in the mud with us! Cost: $25/person.

Pampered Private Pottery Parties are exclusive artsy experiences that are great for anyone looking for a unique Santa Fe experience! Great for special occasions, corporate team building, bachelorette parties, private celebrations, and family gatherings.
