Join us for a hands-on ceramics workshop where you'll create your own unique slab-built planter with delicate sculptural embellishments!

In this beginner-friendly class, you'll learn the fundamentals of slab-building, including rolling, cutting, and assembling clay to form a beautiful and functional planter. We'll explore techniques for adding decorative details such as hand-sculpted flowers, textured patterns, and subtle design elements to personalize your piece.

Registration fee includes:

✔️ Hands-on instruction
✔ A relaxed and creative environment to explore clay
✔️ All materials and clay for one planter
✔️ Glazing and firing of your finished piece
✔️ Light snacks and non-alcoholic beverages

We will focus on:

✔ Step-by-step guidance on slab construction
✔ Techniques for adding sculptural embellishments
✔ Tips for smoothing, refining, and preparing your piece for firing

Your handcrafted planter will be fired and ready for pickup within 10-12 days. Whether you're new to ceramics or looking to expand your skills, this class is a perfect way to get creative with clay!

✨ No prior experience necessary—just bring your creativity! ✨

What to Bring:
🥤 Feel free to bring your own snacks and non-alcoholic beverages.
