I really love this place! I've taken a few wheel throwing classes here for a while and had an absolute blast! The teacher, Pippa, is so talented and patient. They have short workshops or longer depending on what you're interested in. If you just wanna give it a try, take a class or two. You won't regret it, I t's a lot of fun. read more

Crack Pot Studio - Pottery - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

Crackpot is a great place to relax and tap into your inner creativity for some serious pottery making. Good for all ages and any aspiring artist. The studio is spacious, clean, and large enough for team building events, or kid's birthday parties. They offer various options such as ceramic painting, hand building and potter's wheel. My plus one and I choose to use our hands and make our own bowl and cup. The staff were friendly and gave us a short tutorial and provided us various tips on placement and design. Not only were they friendly, they were patient as I had to make the same cup 3 times and smooth it out. In the end we left pretty late leaving the venue. Thank you Crackpot for not kicking us out!! Some tips before going, clip your nails, especially if you plan to get down and dirty with any clay. Not feeling the clay? no worries, they have plenty of premade ceramics and paint. You don't even need to be extra creative as we watched others around us make lily pads and clay hands. Keep in mind that once you finish your creation you can't take it home, it takes a couple of weeks for them to dry and give it a glaze finish before you can pick it up. Overall this is a relaxing place with friendly staff and a fun environment to try something creative. I would highly recommend giving crackpot a try. JimStar Out!! read more

See all

This is a great date, birthday or group activity. We went as a couple for our anniversary to learn to do pottery on a wheel. The instructor was great. We had 2 hours to make as much as we could. Then a few weeks later (after they fire up the pottery) they called us back to paint our creations. They even taught us a few different painting techniques to use with the paints. All of that is included in the price of the pottery lesson. They are really nice at the studio and have readymade items if all you want to do is paint. But honestly the pottery wheel was the most fun! Even my guys guy husband enjoyed it. There are a few free parking spots in front.l so no need to pay for parking. Highly recommend this as a fun activity! read more

Such a cute and fun place in downtown Oakville. Painting the already made clay pieces is fun (they have a large selection!), and I've always found the staff to be friendly. Perfect for families and kids, but also great as a date or something fun to do with a small group of friends. read more
