Preparation steps:
- Before embarking on your pottery date, it would be helpful to dress appropriately - clothes that you don't mind getting a bit dirty and an apron if you have one. If you wear glasses, make sure to bring them, as you'll be working on fine details.
- You may want to look up some pottery design ideas online, and even practice on Play-Doh. If you're competitive, you could also turn the date into a fun challenge: who can create the best or most original piece of pottery.
- Finally, don't forget to make a reservation at your chosen ceramic workshop, as these places can be quite popular and might be fully booked especially on weekends.
Some tips:
- Adding personal touches or secret messages to your pottery can make it a sweet keepsake and memory of your date. Don't worry about your pieces being perfect, the enjoyment comes from the process.
- If you or your partner are creative, this date can be the perfect opportunity to show off your skills. But remember, the main goal is to have fun together, so don't stress about crafting a masterpiece.
- Some pottery workshops offer the option to glaze and fire your pottery, which means it will be properly finished and you could use it at home. This might take a few days, so check before if you're interested in taking your pottery home.
