About Me
​
Creating something with your own hands is a rewarding experience that everyone deserves to enjoy—even amidst a busy schedule. Especially amidst a busy schedule.
Located just 20 minutes outside of New Orleans, in Historic Rivertown, Kenner, Wrenworks is a welcoming place where art is for everyone, no matter your experience level. We all start somewhere, and I invite you to kickstart your creative journey here! My goal is to provide a relaxed atmosphere where you can discover your creativity, and take a moment to breathe.
We offer two side-by-side studios, each a unique space that tickles different parts of the brain!
Paint Your Own Pottery (PYOP): A lively space where you can select and personalize a pre-made pottery piece, making it your own.
Clay Studio: Dive into hands-on fun and create pottery from scratch. Whether you prefer hand-building or trying your hand at wheel throwing, you’ll find a rewarding outlet here, for your creativity.

Yes! Every Thursday from 4-9 is ADULT ONLY PYOP. You bring the sips, we provide the pottery. You also may BYOB to our workshops, clay classes or your private party.
​What happens to our pottery when we leave?
Your pottery will clear-glazed, then fired in our kiln to about 1900 degrees -ooh that's hot! Viola! Your pottery is shiny, food safe and ready for pick up two weeks later; swing by when we're open to grab it!​ ​​
ADDITIONAL FUN FAQ'S:
Much of our pottery is made right here in Rivertown! Ask to see our slip-cast studio, right next door. Now-a-days, we clean the seams and bisque fire it for you, so that when you come to the studio, you just focus on the fun part; the glazing! We use the word 'painting' as a verb; you are painting the glaze onto your pottery. Regular paints wouldn't stand a chance in the heat of the kiln! Glazes are made of special earth minerals that actually vitrify in the kiln, coating your piece with a thin layer of glass.
