Air Dry Clay Workshop

About

Air Dry Clay Workshop is a 1.5-hour, hands-on session at KraftStories' Financial District studio where you shape a piece of clay by hand, working through forming, smoothing and surface-texture techniques, and take it home the same day. Because the clay air-dries, there is no kiln, no glazing queue and no second trip to collect your piece. No experience is needed; the studio lists the class as beginner-friendly and kid-friendly from age 6, and all materials and tools are provided, so you only need to turn up. Public sessions seat up to 12 people, with a studio instructor guiding each step. The price is $79 per person. In-person public bookings can be cancelled for a refund up to two days before the session, and the page advertises booking with as little as four hours' notice. The studio is at 93 Pearl St, 4th floor, New York, NY 10004, near Wall St (2, 3), Bowling Green (4, 5) and Broad St (J, Z). It is stairs-only with no elevator; the Midtown studio is the step-free option. Most of the other clay listings on our NYC calendar are wheel-throwing or kiln-fired courses at pottery studios such as BKLYN CLAY and Greenwich House Pottery, which run over several weeks. This is a one-evening alternative.
