Take a deep breath, slow down, and create something with your hands.
This 2-hour clay workshop is designed for adults who want a relaxed, creative studio experience—no previous clay experience needed. Whether you’re brand new to clay or ready to challenge yourself, you’ll choose the project style that best matches how hands-on you’d like to be.
✨ If you’re new to clay or prefer an easier, more relaxed experience, the Pre-Made Clay Form is a wonderful place to start.
✨ If you enjoy learning new techniques and building from scratch, the Clay Slab Build offers a more involved, hands-on challenge.
Both options are fully guided, supported, and entirely yours to personalize.
âś‹ Choose Your Project Style
Option 1 — Pre-Made Clay Form (Beginner-Friendly & Relaxed)
Prefer to ease into clay and spend more time customizing and personalizing your piece? This is the most approachable option and ideal for first-timers or anyone who wants a smooth, stress-free creative experience.
Common slab-built pieces include:
Mug
Bowl
Platter
Planter
Garlic Scraper / Herb Stripper
These forms are already shaped and slightly damp — ready for carving, adding texture, painting, and sculptural details.
This option allows you to focus on creativity, surface design, and personalization without the added challenge of building the structure from scratch.
đź’› Perfect for beginners, relaxed creators, and those who want to enjoy the process without feeling overwhelmed.
Option 2 — Clay Slab Build (Make it from scratch)
Ready to get your hands fully into the clay and take on a creative challenge? The slab build option is a more involved, hands-on experience that requires shaping, forming, and constructing your piece from the ground up.
Start with a 12" x 12" slab of clay and learn basic forming techniques to create the structure of your piece yourself.
Common slab-built pieces include:
Mug or plate
Luminary
Coaster or ornament
Another simple, refined form of your choosing
Expect shaping, joining, smoothing, and problem-solving — this option is more tactile and time-intensive than the pre-made form.
✨ Best suited for those who enjoy learning new techniques or are ready for a more challenging clay experience.
