Host Your Next Birthday Party or Private Event at Amano Pottery Studio in Austin

If you've celebrated one too many birthdays at the same restaurant or booked the same paint-and-sip night for every occasion, it might be time for something your guests will actually be talking about tomorrow. At Amano Pottery Studio in South Austin, private events give your group a hands-on, creative experience — no clay experience required.

What a Private Pottery Event Looks Like

We host small groups for pottery painting sessions, guided wheel-throwing demos, and hand-building workshops, tailored to your crowd and your occasion. Whether it's a milestone birthday, a bridal or baby shower, a girls' night, or a family reunion, we set the space, walk your group through the basics, and let everyone leave with something they made themselves.

Great for Work Too

Private sessions aren't just for birthdays. Austin companies looking for a team-building activity that isn't another happy hour have found that an hour at the wheel does something a trust fall never could — it gets people focused, a little competitive, and laughing at their own lopsided bowls. It's a low-pressure way for a team to unplug together.

What's Included

Every private event at our South Austin studio includes:

- A dedicated instructor to guide your group

- All materials and tools for the session

- A space set up just for your party

- Guidance on next steps if guests want to pick up or glaze their pieces

Planning Your Event

Private events book up, especially around spring and the holidays, so we recommend reaching out a few weeks ahead for weekend slots. Group size, session length, and pricing vary depending on whether you're doing pottery painting (faster, great for kids and mixed-experience groups) or wheel throwing (a bit more involved, best for groups excited to get their hands dirty).
