Make your own Terra Cotta Planters

Get your hands dirty—and your garden growing!

Join us for a laid-back, hands-on workshop where you'll design and build your own terra cotta planter from scratch. Whether you’ve got a green thumb or just love a good creative project, this class is the perfect way to bring a little clay (and a lot of charm) into your space.

You'll learn simple handbuilding techniques using rich, red terra cotta clay—ideal for indoor and outdoor planters. Choose your size, shape, and surface design—we’ll walk you through the rest.

Nope — this is an intermediate/advanced class. You should be comfortable centering, pulling walls, and trimming independently.

💔 What if something cracks or warps?
We handle work with care, but ceramics can be unpredictable. Flat forms especially like to keep us humble.
