Carve a Clay Pumpkin at The Pottery Shop (DI & Durango)

Carve Something Spooky (or Cute) 🎃

Clay Pumpkin Carving at The Pottery Shop

Give a handthrown clay pumpkin a cheeky grin, spooky face or a design entirely your own! Bring a friend, make it a date or enjoy some creative time under our studio’s string lights.

$25 for one pumpkin or 2 for $45. Ages 10+.

Each pumpkin reservation includes:

• A handthrown clay pumpkin to carve
• Carving tools and supplies
• Your choice of glaze color, applied by our studio
• Kiln firing

No experience needed! We’ll show you how to safely carve your design. This is a clay carving session; no pottery wheel is used.

Timing & Pickup

Please allow approximately 45–90 minutes, with some sessions taking up to two hours depending on group size and project details. Sessions begin and end at the published times.

Pumpkins stay at the studio for drying, glazing and firing. Pickup is estimated at approximately four weeks and is not guaranteed before Halloween.

Important Ceramics Disclaimer

We cannot guarantee that your pumpkin will survive drying, bisque firing or glaze firing. Cracking, warping, separation, breakage and variations in shape or glaze may occur. Clay shrinks approximately 15% from wet clay to the finished piece.

If your pumpkin does not survive the process, you may choose a finished piece as a memento of your session.
