This is your guide.
to creating the perfect group pottery class in San Francisco for your family, friends, coworkers, or community crew! An expereince that is hands-on, a little messy, totally creative, and deeply memorable?
Welcome to Artillery AG + Ceramics Studio, a community ceramics space (with a garden) in San Francisco’s vibrant Mission District.
We want to support your group turn intentions into clay— and clay into connection.
Whether you’re celebrating, reconnecting,connecting for the first time or just ready to play, we’ll help you design the ultimate group pottery workshop.
Here’s how to make your custom ceramics experience come to life :
Step 1: Set Your Collective Intention
Before we touch the clay, we start with the “why.”
✨ Are you marking a special occasion?
✨ Creating a special experience to meet for the first time?
✨ Trying to spark creativity and collaboration with your team
✨ Hoping to slow down, breathe, and reconnect?
Whatever your reason, clay can hold it all. It’s grounding, expressive, and surprisingly therapeutic.
It listens,
it transforms,
and it always reflects the energy you bring.
Your intention sets the tone for your workshop—whether it’s a **team-building ceramics experience**, a **family pottery session**, or a **friends’ creative day out**.
Take a breath, light a candle and create an activated space to set intention with pottery is something we like to do .
Step 2: Imagine Your Clay Creation
Now the fun part—what will you make together?
At Artillery, we draw inspiration from nature, ritual, and community. We honor the elements—earth, water, air, and fire—that make ceramics possible.
Here are a few ideas to inspire your **group pottery project**:
🌿 Create a collaborative vessel to beautify a shared space.
🔥 Craft a “gratitude vessel” to honor one of the four elements. This can be candle holders, flowers vases , planters.
🌊 Forage for natural clay at a local beach
💀 Sculpt skulls for Día de los Muertos or Halloween
✨ Make ornaments or tokens / charms for everyone to keep or exchange
🎁 Host a clay gift exchange—each person makes a cup, planter, dish, or vase for another member.
Have your own idea? Perfect. Our instructors can help you design a **custom ceramics workshop** that reflects your theme, event, or company culture.
See pictures below to see the vessels come to life from coil building to planters, cups and gratitude bowls all finished.
Step 3: Mi Casa o Su Casa?
Now, where shall we play?
You can join us in the Mission District—or we can bring the clay to you for an on-site pottery workshop at your office, school, or event space.
If you come to our studio, you’ll enjoy:
🏺 Private Studio Access — Book a morning session before noon , and the space is all yours.
🎶 Your Playlist — Bring your favorite Spotify mix for creative flow.
🌸 Garden Time — Bring snacks or drinks to enjoy before or after your class in our beautiful courtyard.
🔥 Fire Pit Magic — Wind down around the fire and share your creations.
🍴 Mission District Eats — Surrounded by amazing local food—make a day of it! Go dine together before or after.
💫 Community Vibes — You’ll feel the creative energy the moment you step in: walls filled with art, clay creations in progress, and a welcoming spirit that makes everyone feel at home.
This is not your average **pottery class**—it’s a full **creative experience** designed to inspire connection and joy.
The joy of playing together bring a pottery piece to life.
Step 4: Create a Custom Budget
We believe everyone deserves access to creativity. That’s why our **group pottery prices** are flexible and based on your customizations—group size, project type, materials, and location.
Pick your ideal price range per person, choose your day and time, and we’ll work with you to craft a unique group / team-building pottery event that fits your goals and budget!
We look forward to creating an unforgettable experience with you!
