Join ceramic artist Pinar Brummer for a hands-on, community-led gathering at International House Davis, in two parts. Together, we’ll shape a collaborative tree sculpture, then slow down to hand-build our own small ceramic pieces. No experience needed, just a willingness to show up, get elemental, and tap into some childlike joy.Pinar opens the gathering with her own story, her journey from Türkiye to Davis, and how it inspired this project, before inviting you to get your hands in the clay and be your childlike self.
Part One: The Tree. Everything you touch, touches you is a reflection on togetherness, on how we’re not just observers but active participants in a shared experience, connected to each other and the world around us. At the heart of the gathering is an incomplete ceramic tree, hand-built by Pinar, waiting for your mark. You’ll shape a clay leaf to join it, no skill required, each one becoming part of a lasting, collective piece.
Part Two: The Tea Cup. Pinar will guide you through hand-building a small, imperfect tea cup, a slow, meditative practice that celebrates flaws rather than smoothing them away.
The finished tree will be on display at International House for several weeks, then celebrated at a Reveal Party where you’ll see how everyone’s marks came together into one collective piece.
Come ready to get your hands dirty and leave a piece of yourself behind. This is a sensory, emotional experience that gets you in touch with your childlike core, and with each other. Ages 16 and up.
