Oktoberfest Pottery + Cookie Collab

Thursday, September 24, 2026 | 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Walls of Clay + Gentle Confections are teaming up for an Oktoberfest-inspired evening packed with creativity. Decorate three adorable cookies AND glaze your choice of a Pub Mug or Prism Stemless Wine Glass using our brand-new Elements glaze collection.

Reservation Only | Limited Seating

This workshop begins promptly at 6:30 PM. Please arrive 10–15 minutes early so you can get settled and we can begin instruction on time.

Two Creative Experiences. One Fun Night.

We’re bringing together pottery glazing and cookie decorating for a hands-on evening with Gentle Confections.

You’ll learn step-by-step techniques for decorating three custom Oktoberfest-themed sugar cookies, complete with individual icing bags and expert instruction from Gentle Confections.

On the pottery side, you’ll choose either a Pub Mug or Prism Stemless Wine Glass and be among the first to try our new Elements glaze collection. These specialty glazes create lush, earthy tones and beautiful variations that give traditional bisque pottery a rich, pottery-inspired finish.

No experience is needed. We’ll guide you through both projects from beginning to end.

What’s Included

• Three custom Oktoberfest-themed sugar cookies
• Individual icing bags and decorating supplies
• Step-by-step instruction from Gentle Confections
• Your choice of a Pub Mug or Prism Stemless Wine Glass

Meet Our New Elements Glazes

Inspired by nature, our new Elements glazes create rich, organic and earthy finishes with beautiful depth and variation.

We’ll show you how these specialty glazes work and guide you through glazing your Pub Mug or Prism Stemless Wine Glass. The kiln takes it from there, developing the colors and variations that make each finished piece unique.
