Late Night Date Night - Open Studio Party @ ElevenPop Up in Royal Oak
Late Night Date Night
The Most Memorable Date in Royal Oak • Adults 18+ • BYOB Welcome
Skip the usual dinner-and-a-movie and create something unforgettable together.
Late Night Date Night at Easel & Wheel is an intimate, creatively charged clay session designed for couples who want something different — something fun, relaxing, hands-on, and totally original.
✨ What You’ll Do
You and your partner will each choose a project from our inspiration gallery (or bring your own idea) and build your pieces side-by-side with full guidance from our artists. We prepare a pre-thrown porcelain starter base for every guest (cup, bowl, vase, planter, etc.), and you add your creative touch with carving, sculpting, attachments, and color design.
Absolutely no experience needed. Just curiosity, laughter, and the pleasure of making something together.
💛 Why It’s Perfect for Date Night
Pick a time slot before or after dinner in downtown Royal Oak (or anywhere in Metro Detroit!)
A cozy, adults-only atmosphere — great vibes, your music, your project
A shared experience you’ll talk about for months
Each person goes home with their own finished functional piece
Make matching pieces… or completely different ones!
Bring a drink, unwind, and connect in a totally new (and creative) way.
We’ll take care of the rest.

Good to Know
❗ This is a wet clay building session, not ceramic painting.
This is real porcelain clay and real ceramics — not craft-store bisque.
🥂 BYOB welcome, 21+ with valid ID. (No hard liquor; wine, cider, seltzers, etc. are perfect.)
🖐️ One project per person. Want something bigger or more detailed? Book additional sessions or ask about our multi-pass options.
