Crock A Doodle

This chain with locations all across Toronto and Ontario offers pottery painting on premade pieces, from mugs to cookie jars, eliminating the fussiest parts of pottery and leaving only the fun. After you're done painting your masterpiece, they'll professionally glaze and kiln-fire it for you to keep forever (as long as you don't drop it.)

Clay With Me

This King West clay studio, whose original location resides on Dundas West, offers not only drop-in specialty classes like paint your own pottery sessions and themed workshops, they also put on multi-week courses to hone your craft along with special date night pottery sessions. Now, about that Ghost moment...

MUD the Clay Studio

If you're looking for lessons that'll actually make you good at pottery (or, better than before at least,) look no further than this Leslieville studio, which offers six-week long courses where you'll learn and master the basics of potting, with clay, glazing and firing included. You can also stop by for a two-hour trial run on the pottery wheel to get a feel for it.
