Pottery Parties
Plan Your Own Private Pottery Party!
Try something new and celebrate your special occasion with a private pottery party! Perfect for birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate events, holiday parties, or simply getting a group of friends together for something fun and creative.
Choose from two options:
1. Group Pottery Class
Spend 1.5 to 2.5 hours creating your own pottery in a private group class. Choose a mug, bowl, or another special project in advance, and let your creativity take over!
At the end of the class, you’ll choose your glaze colour. Our trained instructors will then glaze and fire your pieces, ready for you to pick up once they’re finished.
Please note: Finished pottery pieces will be ready for pickup approximately 4–8 weeks after your event.
OR
2. Party Room + Group Pottery Class
Want to make a whole event of it? Add private use of our adjacent party room before and after your pottery session (times to be agreed upon). Enjoy time to celebrate, socialize and bring your own food and refreshments before heading into your personalized pottery experience with one of our trained instructors.
During the pottery class, create your own mug, bowl, or other project (chosen in advance). At the end, choose your glaze colour and we’ll take care of the rest!
Groups can accommodate approximately 10 people.
Please note: Finished pottery pieces will be ready for pickup approximately 4–8 weeks after your event.
To book your party, contact the Golden campus by calling 250-344-5901 or email golden@cotr.bc.ca.
Our Instructors
Suzanne Cooper

A self-described nerd, Suzanne Cooper has not only earned a diploma in ceramics from Selkirk College and a BFA with Distinction/Honours in Ceramics from Alberta University of the Arts (AUA) but has also completed additional liberal/fine arts degrees. She has been working professionally as a Pottery Wheel Throwing instructor at various institutions for over 15 years and truly loves to teach.
Suzanne is social and super fun, but no nonsense. Getting progressive results from her students is important to her. She balances her teaching life with maintaining her own studio practice of both functional and sculptural ceramics. Her interests lie in seeking beauty, healing, personal growth, joy, laughs, and pleasure through the use of clay for both her and her students.
To get a feel for her work and to get to know her better, you can visit her website: www.suzannecooperceramics.com or find her on instagram: @suzannecooperceramics.
