We allow one table for every 5 people in your party. Parents of young children are welcome to sit outside while their children are participating, but we ask that you stay in the allotted space to support our business. You can choose to add our entire back patio area to your event if you’d like for an additional $100.
Can I bring food?

Food and beverages can be consumed in our back patio area, but we don’t allow prepared-on-location food options like a taco stand. Food is restricted to our outdoor space only, as it protects our space for patrons that follow.

What people are saying

We had a great experience at Mud Hen Studios! We took a Saturday pottery wheel workshop. The patient and informative instruction was wonderful. The workshop ended at a perfect time for us to head over to a locl r3taurant for dinner. We came back to glaze our pieces. Again, the instructions were clear and helpful. We are very happy with the finished pieces. The text message updates from Laura kept us up to date while we waited for our pieces to dry and go in the kiln.It was a wonderful learning experience. We hope to get back soon for another workshop or for a class series.

There is such a welcoming atmosphere at the studio! We were lucky enough to experience a "clay date" at the original studio location and recently took a wheel class where we practiced centering and made a few pieces. Jennifer the owner and instructor was so great, she really takes the time to explain how to handle the clay on the wheel! By the end of class I got more comfortable with handling the clay on the wheel properly :) - still have a long way to go to be a ceramics expert but that is what will keep me coming to learn! What I love about this studio is through learning, I got unique ring dish/cups in the process :) and they provide such a welcoming, inclusive environment for all levels!Looking forward to getting a message once the pieces are done and coming again to build on my skills!

Highly recommend for your next group activity!My friends and I scheduled a private group class and had such a great time. Our husbands were even raving about how much fun it was.

Dropped in last month for my daughter's friends birthday. There were four of us. We were there about an hour and half before closing which was plenty of time. The employee was very friendly. It's a great deal with each item including any other fees. Love to support a small business.
