Bridal Shower Pottery Parties
A bridal shower table with paint, pottery, BYOB, and keepsakes guests actually want to give.
Bridal shower idea
Host a shower that becomes part of the home
Instead of another afternoon built only around snacks and gift bags, let guests paint something useful for the couple. Mugs, bowls, plates, and small pieces all start as pre-made bisque pottery and finish in MADE's on-site kilns.
The studio works for family, friends, wedding parties, and mixed-age groups because nobody needs art experience to sit down and make something personal.
- Up to 25 guests
- 2 hours of reserved studio time
- Pottery pieces paid separately day of
- BYOB welcome under the studio policy
Candle parties are $30/person for 3–16 guests and must call ahead so wax can heat before the shower.
A shower plan with built-in conversation
Guests can each paint something for themselves, or the whole table can make a set for the couple. MADE handles the glazing and firing after the party.
The studio is about 70 minutes from Nashville and about 30 minutes from Dickson, upstairs on the Centerville square.
