In this one-of-a-kind pottery class, you’ll create a truly special piece of art to keep or gift to someone dear.

The magic happens when you hug a freshly thrown vase, whether solo or with loved ones, leaving an imprint that makes the piece uniquely yours. Your creation becomes a lasting memory of the moment, captured in clay. The class includes a 30-minute demonstration on throwing pottery. You’ll get to try your hand at the wheel and feel the magic of pottery-making. Don’t miss this chance to create a meaningful piece of art that’s as unique as your hug!

Here's what you can expect:

Hug your vase: Sculpt your piece by hugging a freshly thrown vase, either individually or with a loved one. Larger vases will be made by Instructor Jennifer for multiple huggers, requiring more time, skills and materials.
Customize your creation: Choose from 4 beautiful glaze colors to bring your hugged vase to life. Each piece will be fired to perfection.

Your personalized vase will be ready for pick-up within 4 weeks. The pots must be picked up in person. No shipping is offered under any circumstances, so make sure you’re able to retrieve your one-of-a-kind creation!

We were looking for a relaxing fun couples class for a date after a stressful few weeks. This was perfect! Jennifer is fun, welcoming, and super smart. Classes are small and mellow. We had awesome classmates and had a ton of anxiety-relieving fun. Plus we get some unique coffee mugs on top of it. Thank you, Jennifer! It was wonderful to meet you, and we had a great time!

It was an amazingly fun class! It was very relaxed, very comfortable, and allowed for a lot of creativity, It was easy to chat and just enjoy the time, while also being very easy to ask for help or guidance on the pieces we were making. I highly recommend others do this too! It made for a great surprise date night.

Jenny's mug class was wonderful! My partner and I did it as a date and had a blast. She does a good job at making the creative process fun and accessible for artists and for people who are new to creating and using clay. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed my visit. I wore my mask and Jenny immediately put hers on to match my unspoken preference. Jenny explained and showed me what my options were, how I would work with the clay and then let me practice multiple options while making suggestions. I really enjoyed this experience and would do it again without hesitation. Jenny is engaging and funny and a great host. I also enjoyed the location in Hillsboro and Jenny provided some recommendations for me after leaving her studio since I am only visiting Portland.

This was incredibly fun. Our group loved getting a private session with Jenny. She’s a phenomenal teacher who was so adaptable to different skill levels and a great storyteller. We immediately felt comfortable with her and loved how our mugs turned out.

Jenny's mug making experience was wonderful! Jenny provided a lot of ways to make the mugs feel very personalized and gave helpful and clear instructions and guidance all throughout the session, but also allowed it to be very hands-on for us to make the mugs ourselves. It was a great experience and I'd highly recommend it!

We had a great time painting our pet portraits with Jenny! She is knowledgeable, helpful, and very personable- and at the end, you get to take home a wonderful painting that is impossible not to be proud of. Would definitely go back again to paint my other animals!

Such a great time! Jenny is very knowledgeable about painting and personal enough to where you almost forget she is guiding the way for your regular painting to become a pet-inspired masterpiece. Thanks again for having us :)
