Here’s what’s on the schedule:
- Build-a-Boob Pot: This event is the tits! Celebrate body positivity and sculpt your own clay boob pot. Don’t be shy, add body hair, wobbly bits, tattoos, piercings, and those perfect imperfections that make you you. An empowering, fun experience perfect for bachelorettes, birthdays, or just because.
- Clay Mug Making: You’ll learn hand-building techniques and shape your own one-of-a-kind clay cup, perfect for coffee, tea, or whatever warms your soul. Bonus: it's just as satisfying to drink from as it is to make!
- Halloween Edition: Get spooky with seasonal clay creations, think ghost tea light holders, pumpkin pinch pots, and other eerie-sistible designs. Costumes optional. Witchy, playful, and perfectly weird vibes required.
- Holiday Edition: Add a little handmade holiday magic to your season by sculpting functional festive decor or heartfelt gifts from clay. Make ornaments, candle holders, holiday trays, mini trees, or whatever you dream up. Think cozy, joyful, messily creative energy, because the best gifts are always the ones you make yourself.
- Make Your Own Oyster Plate: It’s pottery meets oyster night. In this two-in-one workshop, you’ll hand-build your own ceramic oyster plate and then paint it during the same session, think ocean tones, shell-inspired textures, and beachy color palettes. Perfect for entertaining, gifting, or upgrading your serveware with a coastal-inspired handmade touch.
- Make Your Own Plant Pot: Calling all plant parents: this one’s for you. Sculpt your own custom planter, basic, textured, footed, face-shaped, whatever your vibe. Whether your monstera needs a new home or your cactus wants an upgrade, you'll leave with a pot as unique as your plant baby.
- Sip & Sculpt: Our signature workshop. Unwind with a drink in one hand and clay in the other while you learn the basics of hand-building pottery. Make a planter, ring dish, vase, or whatever your imagination sparks.
P.S. When you see “On the Patio,” it means we’re taking it outside! Soak up golden hour while you sculpt. If the weather is too rainy or blazing hot, we’ll move indoors, still fun, still clay-filled, just with AC.
