Decorate a pottery piece of your choice at A Maze In Pottery.

A Maze In Pottery — Briarcliff Manor

This Briarcliff Manor studio offers a huge variety of pottery for kids to paint—some 500 pieces. The paints are kid-safe, and you can go back in about a week later to pick up your creation. Keep an eye on the studio's calendar for weekend workshops, including age-specific events. Reservations can be made online for a table, and there are lots of options for at-home activities, including a “Pottery To-Go Kit” (with FREE local delivery) as well as a bimonthly subscription box and virtual party options.

Creative Corner — Larchmont

This Larchmont studio offers walk-in hours, but you have to register for sessions (either 1 or 1.5 hours) ahead of time. Walk-in appointment times vary, so call the studio before heading over. There are also mommy-and-me classes, workshops, and custom classes that can cater to your learning pod or small groups. Register online in advance.
