Spin + Sip: Pottery Wheel Night at Ballard Clay

Looking for a romantic thing to do in Seattle that’s playful, hands-on, and a little outside the norm? Ballard Clay offers a fun couples activity that lets you get creative. Their 2-hour “Sip N’ Spin” workshop is perfect for beginners and includes step-by-step instruction on the pottery wheel in a cozy, BYOB-friendly studio. You’ll learn how to center, pull, and shape your own ceramic piece while sipping your favorite drink and sharing some laughs.

With small class sizes, a relaxed vibe, and welcoming instructors, it’s one of the most unique date ideas in Seattle. It works just as well for a casual weeknight outing as it does for a special occasion. After class, keep the energy going with cocktails at Percy’s & Co, a cozy apothecary-style bar just a short walk away. For something a little more intimate, head to Baker’s for seasonal drinks and a warm, romantic atmosphere. Or if you’re hungry, enjoy wood-fired pizza, pasta, and date-night ambiance at Stoneburner.
