Pottery Class, Then Leave the Pasta to the Kitchen
A Brooklyn pottery class, then pasta: throw a mug at a working studio and leave dinner to a kitchen a short walk away.
Both Brooklyn Stops on the Map
A Brooklyn Pottery Studio Open to Beginners
The Pottery Studio welcomes makers of all skill levels, making its monthly classes a starting point for beginners. Staff guide the classes in this Gowanus ceramic workspace. The studio is open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Check class dates and times before planning the evening around a session. Members have shelf and locker storage options. The studio also offers cone 10 reduction firing.
Pasta and a Bar After the Studio
Chef Sal Lamboglia leads the kitchen at Cafe Spaghetti in Carroll Gardens. The restaurant sits on Union Street. Handmade pastas and chicken parmigiana offer two choices for an Italian dinner. Seating extends from indoors to a backyard garden and an enclosed street space. Evening service begins at 5:00 PM Tuesday through Sunday. Dinner ends at 10:00 PM Thursday through Saturday and at 9:00 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday. The restaurant is closed on Mondays.
Hands-On Making Against Being Served
The Pottery Studio in Gowanus centers the pairing on participation, with monthly classes welcoming makers of all skill levels. Cafe Spaghetti in Carroll Gardens shifts attention to the table, where handmade pastas and Italian family recipes anchor the meal. The contrast is between working with clay and enjoying a kitchen's finished dishes. Together, the two places give this Brooklyn theme a creative focus and a familiar dinner counterpart, with the studio first and the restaurant second in the story.
