Clay Church Led By Art Haus

What if working with your hands became a way to come back to yourself?

In a world that moves quickly, this gathering offers a slower rhythm—one rooted in presence, creativity, and connection.

Clay Church is a guided, hands-on experience designed to help you reconnect with your senses through clay. Through simple techniques and thoughtful guidance, you’ll explore what it feels like to create without pressure, allowing the process itself to become a form of meditation, reflection, and expression.

This is not about making something perfect.
It’s about being present with what’s in front of you.

We’ll open the evening with a short Meet the Moment presence practice to help you arrive fully, then transition into a guided pottery wheel experience led by Stephanie Hillman of Art Haus. Throughout the morning, you’ll have space to create, explore, and settle into your own rhythm supported by both instruction and openness.

This gathering will take place between Maven CREATE and Art Haus, offering a blend of intentional space and hands-on studio experience.

Whether you’re new to pottery or returning to it, you’re welcome here.

What You'll Walk Away With

Participants can expect to leave with:

• A sense of calm and grounding from slowing down and working with your hands
• Confidence in exploring creativity without pressure
• A deeper connection to yourself, others, and the creative process
• One finished piece of glazed pottery that you created; available for pickup within 8 weeks

Info: Guests arrive, settle in, and are welcomed into the space. The Maven team will briefly introduce the morning, share a bit about the Maven community, and introduce Stephanie before transitioning into the gathering.

Info: We’ll begin with Maven’s signature presence practice—Meet the Moment. This short guided experience helps the group slow down, settle into the body, and arrive fully before working with clay.

Info: Stephanie will introduce foundational pottery techniques and guide participants into working with clay. This portion offers structure and support while inviting curiosity and exploration.

Info: A brief pause to stretch, use the restroom, grab water or tea, and reset before the second half of the gathering.

Info: Participants will continue creating at their own pace, allowing the process to become more intuitive and self-led. This is a space to settle into rhythm, focus, and creative flow.

Info: Participants will select their final piece and choose a glaze to finish it. This portion includes a simple clean-up of personal workspaces before transitioning back to Maven CREATE to close the gathering together.

Info: We’ll close the morning with a short integration and optional reflection. This is a space to acknowledge the experience, reconnect as a group, and transition out of the gathering. Guests are welcome to linger, connect with one another, and spend a few final moments in the space before heading out.
