Team Building Activities in Irvine

At Olomana Studios, we host private pottery classes for corporate teams and group events. Everyone makes something real with their hands, everyone learns something new, and everyone walks away with a handmade piece they're proud of. It's team building that actually brings people together.

Why Teams Choose Pottery

The best team building happens when people forget they're doing team building. When your group is laughing at a wobbly pot or helping each other center clay, the usual office dynamics disappear. Everyone's a beginner, and that's the whole point.

Pottery gives every person their own project. There's no sitting on the sidelines. Each person works with their hands, makes something from nothing, and walks away with a piece they made themselves. Something that ends up on their desk or kitchen shelf as a real reminder of the day.

Booking Your Event

Email us with 2 to 3 preferred dates and a few details about your event. We'll confirm a time slot and send you a private booking link. No deposit required. Participants can pay individually or you can pay as a group.

Day of Your Event

Your team shows up and our instructors handle everything. We guide everyone through making their own pottery piece (wheel throwing, hand-building, or both depending on the format). Sessions run 1 to 1.5 hours. Finished pieces are ready for pickup in about 4 to 6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we book a private pottery event for our team?

We host private group events for teams that want a hands-on creative activity. Email contact@olomanastudios.com with your preferred dates and event details.

How much does a team building pottery event cost?

Pricing is the same as our regular group class, with no additional fees or deposits. Check our regular group class page for current pricing.

Do you handle all the logistics?

Yes. We provide all materials, aprons, tools, and instruction. Each participant picks up their finished piece in about 4 to 6 weeks. All you need to do is show up.

Can we bring food or decorations?

We don't allow food at the studio because it attracts ants and classes can get messy. Balloons and small party decorations are fine, but keep in mind there may be other scheduled classes in the space.
