Workshop: Friday Date Night — Mac Clay Pottery

Friday Date Night

Workshop: $75 Per Person / Ages 18 and up
Instructor: Matthew Hawkins

Looking for the next fun thing to do with your best friend, partner, or latest situationship? Join us for a Friday date night and let your creativity flow. In order to keep things intimate, we close the rest of the studio at 5:00PM and limit the class to eight people plus our staff.

This is a beginner friendly hang-out, but if you’ve got experience on the wheel, or want to wow us with your hand-building, we’ll be lock step with your skillset so that you can shine. Think of this as free-form (and guided) play with clay. We will have examples of possibilities for you, along with a big ball of clay for you to work with. Add in music, vibes, and tasting portions of wine — what more could you ask for? Everything is ready for you to jump straight on the wheel and/or hand-build your way into a creative zone with your better half.

Playing with clay is not only calming and therapeutic; it is stimulating and engaging. What better way to connect with people you love? Join us - we’ll be having this limited, intimate date night whenever we want to feel a quick pulse.

If there’s something that you’d like to keep at the end of the class, we can finish and fire the piece for an additional fee.

Coming This Summer To McMinnville

Mac Clay is the first ceramic studio solely focused on classes, workshops and events in McMinnville. We believe in strengthening community by stoking conversations and deepening understanding of ceramic practice — whether wheel throwing technique, pinch pots, Instagram trends or pre-historic forms. Wherever you are on your ceramic journey, we will meet you at the place where curiosity, passion and technique find form.

Think of Mac Clay as a town square for all things ceramic. Whether you’re taking a multiweek class at our Downtown location, attending a weekend masterclass, or reserving space in the studio for the day, we exist to help you access the magic of clay creation. Our mission is to serve both the beginner and advanced studio potter in a safe, vibrant environment.

But there’s more: we don’t only make beautiful things; we explore new dimensions of ourselves and how we relate to each other. Mac Clay is honored to enter a conversation with the Yamhill County area. So follow along as we kick off a series of events that introduce ourselves while recentering a craft that developed lock-step with humanity itself.
