UNAPOLOGETICALLY EXTRA.
Open Studio. Private Parties. Over-the-Top Events. Mobile Experiences.
The Hip Kiln isn't just a pottery studio anymore. We're creating bigger experiences, better reasons to get together, and events worth leaving the house for.
OUR ONLY RULE.
WE DON'T DO BORING.
AND WE'RE STARTING NOW.
Pottery. Parties. DJs. Cocktails. Pop-ups. Ridiculous themes. Giant events.
Whatever we're doing, we're going all in.
WELCOME TO THE NEW HIP KILN

I've always believed the best things happen when you give people a reason to get together. The pottery is fun — but it was never really just about the pottery.
 — Kasey Compton
I don't want to create another place for people to go. I want to create the kind of experience they're still talking about on the way home.  Â
— Kasey Compton
I think we could use more reasons to get out of the house, find our people, laugh too loud, make something, and have a really good time. Â
— Kasey Compton
