Class Description

Description

Trade the holiday rush for two cozy hours of making. Join us for a festive weeknight handbuilding workshop and turn a ball of clay into something full of personality: ornaments for your tree, a handmade gift, or a ceramic accent that brings a little warmth to your home.

Our instructor will introduce handbuilding techniques such as slab building, pinching, and coiling, along with ways to add texture, pattern, and colored slip. Curated mood boards will spark ideas, and you’ll have room to follow your own style, from playful and whimsical to simple and elegant.

Come with a friend, make it a creative date night, or enjoy an evening just for you. No experience needed; each date is a complete, standalone workshop. BYOB welcome for guests 21+.

Ornament Making

Create personal ceramic decorations with festive shapes, delicate textures, and playful details. Find inspiration for your tree, gift wrapping, or a thoughtful keepsake.

Candleholders & Wall Sconces

Bring a warm glow to the season. Hand Build a tabletop candle holder or a sculptural wall sconce, exploring curves, textures, and decorative details for a piece that feels at home long after the holidays.

Mug Making

Create a handmade mug for the coziest moments of the season, from hot cocoa by the fire to coffee while opening gifts. Explore handbuilding techniques and add your own festive textures, patterns, and personal touches. Keep it for your daily ritual or give it to someone special as a thoughtful reminder of you with every sip.

    This was a great experience for a Valentine's Day gift. Our teacher was very personable and knowledgeable, and helped to make sure each classmate completed their project in time. I would highly recommend it to friends.
