A playdate, with clay.
A two-part Claydate!!! We’ll make planters for our favorite plants…then we’ll (optionally) meet up in a few weeks to trade propagations and plant them into our OWN PLANTERS (how freaking cool is that). We can see how everyone’s pieces turned out, catch up, and share a very special day swapping precious baby plants!
You will have the option to paint your piece (9 different ceramic paints and 4 different glaze colors to choose from). Instruction, materials, 2 kiln firings, hand-glazing services, drinks, & snacks all included; great to come to solo or with friends. Beginners encouraged!
All finished pieces are food-safe, microwave-safe, and even oven-safe! Instruction by Aubrey Aiese.
$129 per person (limited discounted early bird tickets available at $117)
Limited spots!
(The second gathering – the propagation swap – is totally optional; you can pick up your pieces separately, if preferred and use your included Open Hour pass at a date of your choosing. The date of the second gathering (should you choose to attend) is Wed, June 26th @ 8-10pm.
Plants that propagate well/quickly include pothos, monstera, philodendrons. We’ll also have some baby pothos propagations if you forget or don’t have any to trade, as well as potting soil. )

15-20 mins of demonstration on basic clay hand-building techniques. These include slab building, pinch pots, and coil building. Then you’re free to build whatever you’d like with provided clay.
Hand building is a super versatile way of working with clay – you’re not restricted to only round objects, as you might be on a wheel
Unlike many other ceramic workshops in the city, we allow you to both paint your pieces in the same day (9 different ceramic paint colors) and choose between multiple glaze colors (6 different solid glaze colors)
The instructor will be available to help, answer questions, and show any custom demos you’d like (for example if you are trying to build something specific).
