Wet Clay Cafe

Wet Clay Cafe is a small cafe that also doubles as a pottery store. Parking in this area is always a mess, either due to construction or it just being packed around the area so be prepared to walk. They have about two dozen tables inside, with the counter to order food or drinks right at the front. They have a few shelves of unpainted unfired ceramics and shelves of paint for you to create your own. Prices are under each piece and you can use any colors they have. They fire them there and you wait about a week to go pick it up. The menu isn't too big but they have a good amount of baked goods which are good. The breakfast croissant and caprese sandwich were pretty good. The staff here are always amazing, so friendly and helpful with anything you need. Prices here are actually good for the amount of food you get, and also for the entertainment value alone. In the back, they have some bearded dragons you can look at (great to keep kids occupied for a bit) and then also pottery classes to make your own clay objects. Overall this is a fun place for dates, groups, or even kids. It's also dog friendly which is nice.

My friend and I attended the “social club” pottery event, which is 30 minutes of socializing (with a charcuterie and drink included as a part of the $125 fee - it ended up just being the two of us for these 30 minutes, and staff were kind enough to store the unfinished portion for us to take home later) and then 2 hours of throwing. So fun for a beginner’s workshop! There were only 4 people in our session in total so each of us got a good amount of one-on-one help from the instructor Erin (who, by the way, is lovely and an amazing instructor)! Great positive vibes from her and Hayden - staff seem very warm, would recommend :)

One of the coziest cafes in Seattle with the added bonus of painting pottery! We went on a Monday evening and we got a good spot before the crowd came in around 6pm. It's very reasonable for the price given that you get all the equipment to paint pottery with. They have a huge collection of items to choose from (cups, plates, containers, trinkets etc). We only had the mocha (tasted okay) and painted two plates. You can collect the fired up pieces a week later and they look amazing! My only nit was that one of the plates had a few spots of paint from other pottery but other than that, it looks exactly like we thought it would. 100% recommend for a nice evening out.

I have been to many painting pottery places and i’ve never had any so far that messed up the paint on the pottery. This place was a first for that. They smudged and smeared deigns that we put on the pottery. I paid so much for the pottery just for it to get ruined. It’s disappointing that our art pieces were ruined and i’m baffled at how it occurred because this has never happened at other places before. I will not be coming back because they expect you to pay so much to then ruin your art work.
