Make your own souvenir
After doing parasailing snorkeling, hiking and other activities, this is a nice downtime thing to do. Karen was so nice and helpful. This is such a nice way of taking home part of the island.

Description
Never tried working with clay? This is the perfect opportunity—especially while you’re on vacation! Our hand-building ceramic workshop gives you a hands-on introduction to pottery, guiding you from raw clay to a finished, functional piece you can truly use. You’ll learn how to form your mug, travel tumbler, bowl, or a set of espresso cups from scratch, understand the basics of clay structure, and explore simple techniques for adding texture and decoration. The best part? Your finished product will be fully food-safe, durable, dishwasher-friendly, and made to last for years. It’s a warm, welcoming environment designed for beginners—perfect for relaxing, getting creative, and enjoying a memorable experience during your stay in Honolulu. Join us for a fun, small-group class and a relaxing morning you’ll truly enjoy. Each session lasts 2 to 2.5 hours and is open to all ages and skill levels. If you’re unable to pick up your piece, we can ship it to you via USPS Priority Mail at cost.

FUN ARTS AND CRAFTS WITH AN AMAZING TEACHER
Amazing experience with an even more amazing instructor! It was super enjoyable and worth every minute, with a small intimate group and plenty of time to create your very own unique masterpiece! Could not recommend this enough, it was relaxing, yet engaging and really helped scratch that creative arts and craft itch we’ve been having. Great for an easy date idea rain or shine! Don’t forget to ask about the star of the show named Pickles!

Fun, unique activity
Fun, unique activity in a lovely location. Karen was a great teacher and attentive to her group (6) of novice students.

Great activity
What a great fun activity! Karen was awesome. She was very good with instructions and helping us. Very patient. Lovely home where the class was held. One of my favorite activities while we were in Hawaii.

We were welcomed into their home, got an overview of the class and then created our pottery.
Karen and co-host pickle gave us an incredible pottery class, very informative and attentive throughout. We both had so much fun and would highly recommend to anyone.

Great experience with a beautiful reward
This class was so much fun and the instructor is very easy to understand. No experience needed and I am so excited to get the pieces I made back. Please note, you will receive your pieces after they are done drying and glazed

A must do experience!
This was one of the highlights of my trip! Karen was an amazing teacher, her outdoor studio is lovely, and the pottery we made was amazing. This is a must do! Also her dog Pickle is adorable ❤️

No experience needed quick class!
Karen is an awesome teacher and a very nice person in general. You don't need any experience with ceramics to take this class and it would be a great family activity. It was definitely extra special to make my own souvenir. I would recommend booking this early in your trip, as Karen is super accommodating and will drop off your items if they have enough time to cure and cool before you leave, which saves your both shipping costs and the risk of your pottery being mishandled in transit. I would absolutely do this activity again and recommend it to other travelers.

Thank you to Karen for this wonderful time of learning and relaxation. We made a mug in a dream setting while following the step by step instructions of our host. Within reach of everyone, from the smallest to the largest. To do with family or friends. Again thank you to karen for his advice and kindness. To discover absolutely!
