Make Your Own Plant Pot or Vase Pottery Workshop at Above the Dirt Garden Shop – Louisville, KY

Unplug, unwind, and make something by hand at our feel-good pottery night — no experience needed. Sculpt your own custom planter or vase - basic, textured, footed, face-shaped, whatever your vibe. Whether your air plant needs a new home or you’re making a custom vase for your favorite blooms, you'll leave with a pottery piece as unique as your plant baby.

Bonus: We donate $1 from every ticket to mental health initiatives. Learn more here about which non-profits we’ve given back to so far, and how you can help choose who we support next.

Your ticket includes:

• Hands-On Instruction: A relaxed, hands-on pottery workshop guided by an experienced host.
• Pottery 101: Learn foundational hand-building techniques like pinch pots and coils, then turn them into functional pottery with pieces like mugs, bowls, vases, or planters. We’ll also show you how to add fun touches like handles or texture.

• All Supplies Provided: We bring the clay, tools, and materials — you just bring yourself.
• Beginner-Friendly Vibes: Laid-back, no-pressure energy perfect for first-timers, solo guests, and friend groups alike.
• Feel-Good Energy: Enjoy a welcoming, community-centered experience hosted at unique local spots — from breweries to plant shops and cozy cafés — that make the experience feel extra special.

Note: After this workshop, you can air-dry your pottery. After a few days, your pottery will be ready to paint! Glazing + Firing (what makes your pottery waterproof and food-safe) is not available at this workshop.
