Pottery Party at Clay Hub

Details and schedule coming soon!
-
“I've hosted 12 birthday parties now in my parenthood journey and I'm so glad I chose Tinker for my daughter's 9th. I struggled a bit as we live in Thornton and I didn't want to pressure our friends into a drive but it was well worth it. A little spot in South Boulder right off Broadway with a parking lot so it was really easy to get to. The teachers were so helpful with setup and walking the kiddos through their projects and making sure everyone got through. I'd highly recommend.”

"I just wanted to thank you and I let you know what a great job the teachers did yesterday for our daughter’s birthday party.
