Galentine’s to Valentine’s: Clay Workshops for You and Those You Love!
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and for many of us, that brings the familiar pressure of planning the "perfect" couples date night to show our loved ones just how much they mean. And yeah, we get it, finding a gesture that feels more meaningful and unique than a standard dinner reservation or a grocery-store bouquet can be a challenge.
At Wheel & Slab Pottery Club in Rochester, NY, we believe the best way to celebrate love, whether romantic, platonic, or familial, is by getting your hands a little dirty and creating something lasting together.
So, while we truly believe that really is the thought that counts (go ahead and get that bouqet!), we wanted to let you know we have some options to help you plan a lovely evening together.

Spend quality time with your loved one away from screens and distractions.
Hangout with other couples in a relaxed, social atmosphere.
Keep 2 pieces reminder of your night at the studio for years to come.
