Pottery Wheel Blind Date

Saturday, August 8th · 7:00 PM

Throw on the wheel side by side, hands in the clay, for a genuinely hands-on first date. You’ll come back to glaze about 5 days later; pieces need to dry and fire, so they don’t go home the same day.

How it works

Considered, not crowded.

01

Tell us about you

A few thoughtful questions so we can match with intention. Five minutes, and no profile to maintain.

02

We make the match

If we find real overlap, a real person makes the final call and hand-pairs your table, never relying solely on an algorithm.

03

Meet over a craft

A small night built around making something. The work gives you plenty to do, and to talk about.

04

See who you click with

Afterward, tell us who you’d like to see again. When it’s mutual, we arrange the next one.
