The Bowen Park Pottery Studio is a welcoming space filled with all the tools, equipment and supplies you need to create at your own pace. Children (5-12 years), when accompanied by an adult are welcome, both must register. Youth who have taken a pottery class are invited to enjoy independent studio time as well. While we don’t offer formal instruction during drop-in sessions, our team is happy to offer light guidance when we can. If it’s your first visit, we’ll give you a studio orientation that includes a tour, and demonstration on how to use equipment, an overview of our studio guidelines, cleaning expectations after you session, and an overview of our clay details. We encourage drop‑in participants to have previous pottery experience so you can make the most of your time in the studio. Ages: 5+.
