Keep the gathering indoors.
Ideas and practical details for your next plan.

A shared activity gives a gathering a little structure. A private venue gives you more freedom. Start with how you want to spend the time, then check the practical details.
Before you choose
- For a workshop, confirm minimum group size, materials, firing or collection fees, and whether your group can book.
- For a venue, distinguish seated from standing capacity and ask about access, setup time and cleaning.
- Request a date-specific total. A generic starting price is not a quote for your gathering.
