Learn the basics of setting up a pottery wheel to throw, the proper tools needed, how to prepare the clay through a process called "wedging," centering, throwing on the wheel and how to clean up.

We give a demonstration of how to throw a pot. Next, we let you try by yourself for a short period of time. Then we give assistance, as needed, to create your own piece which can literally exist forever (unless it is heated to 2500 Fahrenheit:). You get to choose the glaze color of your piece.

Materials and firing is covered in the cost for one piece (approximate maximum size-up to 6" tall x 6" width x 6" length).
Everyone keeps one piece. Prices start at $25 for basic forms. 

Additional pieces of equivalent size are $5 (covers material and firing costs). These are paid for after the pottery session, if you create more than 1 piece you wish to keep.

Specialty Items are also available for additional cost. These require additional time, material, and firing.

Pieces are kept at the studio for finish work, glazing and two kiln firings, and are picked up at a later date. When finished, everything is food-safe, dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe.

Enjoy drinks at Obed & Isaac's and do yoga (or not) with baby goats and their mamas! Whether you're here for baby goat snuggles, animal therapy, or the perfect photo op for your Instagram profile, you'll love the cool atmosphere!

What is Goats + Yoga like?

When you arrive at Obed & Isaac's, head over to the beer garden—there will be signs to guide you! After checking in, signing a waiver, and receiving your drink ticket and wristband, it's time to grab a drink. Once you've picked up your cocktail (if you're over 21) or mocktail, set up your mat or beach towel and get ready to meet the goats.

Yes, you can bring your drinks into the yoga area! You'll also be given cups of goat treats to help attract the goats. Some goats may climb on you, while others might prefer to watch from a distance or nibble treats from your hand. You can participate as much—or as little—as you want. We can even help position the goats for that perfect selfie! Let's be honest—you're probably here for the goat snuggles and Instagram-worthy pictures, not just the yoga!

Session Schedule:

Session #1: 11:00 AM

Session #2: 12:00 PM (added only if the 11:00 AM session fills up)

Session #3: Private session available for groups of 10 or more (see ticket section for details).

Whether you prefer to sit and relax with the goats or dive into full yoga mode, this laid-back class is perfect for you.

Additional Info:

If you have a cherished mat, we recommend using a beach towel instead. Goat + Yoga towels are available for purchase, too!

Can't make it? You can transfer your ticket to a friend—just let us know in advance.

Not a big yoga fan? No worries! Many people come just for the baby goat snuggles. But if you’re up for it, we do have a certified instructor to lead the class.

For more questions, call Tara at 217-899-4562 or email info@willowcityfarm.com. Most importantly—have a fantastic time!
