Art & Wine Series: Wine, Tapas & Whimsical Pottery
What happens when talented local artists, handcrafted pottery, Spanish wine, and chef-prepared tapas come together for one evening?
You get an experience unlike anything else in Las Vegas.
Crush Pad Wine Bar is proud to partner with Clay Arts Vegas to launch our new Art & Wine Series, a celebration of local artistry, craftsmanship, and the joy of gathering around the table.
This isn't a traditional wine dinner. And this certainly isn't your grandmother's pottery.
The handcrafted pieces featured throughout the evening are playful, imaginative, and full of personality—from a Pterodactyl Plate to whimsical serving pieces that spark conversation before the first sip of wine is poured. Each course is served on a unique handmade ceramic piece, with the artist present to share the inspiration and story behind their work.
Throughout the evening, our sommelier will guide guests through four Spanish wines paired with four tapas courses that showcase the flavors of Spain.

More Than Dinner
As each course is presented, you'll meet the artist who created the piece you're dining from, hear about their creative process, and learn what inspired the work. Thomas Bumblauskas and Peter Jakubowski, owners of Clay Arts Vegas, will also be on hand to share the story behind their thriving studio and the community of makers they have built here in Las Vegas.
In addition to the pieces featured during the pairing, the artists will have a showcase table displaying additional works available for viewing and purchase. It's a unique opportunity to meet the makers, learn about their craft, and perhaps take home another piece that speaks to you.
And because art should be lived with—not just admired—every guest takes home all four pottery pieces from the evening.
