The Clay Date

Established in 2011. We offer a comfortable place to nourish your creativity and your body. Our cafe offers small batch roasted coffees, pour overs, and a wide variety of espresso based drinks. We carry premium Bliss Ice Cream all year round and will be adding healthy smoothies and foods in early spring of 2017. We offer do-it-yourself art and have... a large selection of projects that can be done on a walk-in basis with no appointment necessary. We offer candle making, pottery painting, glass fusion, board art, glass painting, canvas painting and clay sculpting without an appointment. We have a pottery wheel studio that has one-time lessons, ongoing classes, and memberships for experienced potters. We have a fabulous space for birthday parties and private celebrations too. The Clay Date was opened in November of 2011. After working with clay and operating a traveling clay studio, the owners decided to take the leap to a retail location. The goal of The Clay Date has always been to offer the public a place to unwind and relax through a variety of art medias. In 2016 The Clay Date had to make a choice of renewing their lease in the Woodbridge location or move to a nearby plaza in New Haven. It was decided that in the New Haven location, customer access would be easier, and there was opportunity to expand. The move was made in August of 2016. Now in a bigger and brighter space, The Clay Date has expanded their art options and added The Art of Coffee and Ice Cream.Read More
