Add a creative spin to your Valentine’s season—because shared experiences are what truly bring us together.

Join us at Queenston Pottery for a 2.5-hour hands-on clay workshop designed for couples, friends, and groups looking for a meaningful, artistic escape. Whether you are a local or visiting for the winter festivities, this is the perfect creative break to warm up, slow down, and get playful with clay.

About the Workshop

• The Experience: You will start with two "leather-hard" stoneware wine cups. Using specialised tools and expert guidance, you’ll sculpt these canvases into expressive faces or unique creative forms.

• Who: Perfect for Valentines or Galentines! No prior experience is needed; we will be right there to offer tips and help your imagination come to life.

• The Setting: Our workshop takes place inside our active working studio and multi-level gallery. The historic heart of Queenston Pottery, where we have been handcrafting ceramics for 48 years.

What’s Included:

• Two leather-hard wine cups to serve as your sculpting canvas.

• All materials, tools, and expert instruction in a relaxed, social atmosphere.

• Professional glazing and firing: Your pieces will be fired to $1330°C, making them durable and food-safe. They will be ready for pickup (or shipping) in approximately 12 weeks.

• Wine & Charcuterie: Enjoy a curated selection of local flavours while you explore our gallery and the new textile exhibition by Ann Marie Patrick.

• Full Gallery Access: Take time to browse our latest collections across multiple levels of our historic space.
