COZY COTTAGE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 10AM-12PM | $15.00 / $25.00

Time to get cozy! You’ll build three little cottage houses out of flat pieces of clay. These cozy cottages can be used as tea light holders or incense burners. Add fun textures, then paint them any way you like to make them your own!

DANCING WINTER TREE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 10AM-12PM | $15.00 / $25.00

As the winter wind begins to blow, let’s build trees that dance in the breeze! You’ll make a set of 2 trees, and each one will have 3 parts. We’ll start with flat clay, then cut and connect the pieces to build your trees. When you're done, you’ll paint them in your own special style. Finally, we’ll string the parts together so they’re ready to hang and show off!

SNOWMAN: SATURDAY, JAN. 24, 2026 - 10AM-12PM | $15.00 / $25.00

Bring the whole family for a fun and festive clay workshop! Together, we’ll create snowmen that never melt using the pinch pot technique. Each participant will make three clay bowls—one large for the base, one medium for the belly, and one small for the head. Then, we’ll bring our snowmen to life with faces, hats, scarves, buttons, and any other decorations your imagination inspires! To finish, you’ll add a custom paint job to give your snowman a personality all its own.

HAND BOWL: SATURDAY, FEB. 21, 2026 - 10AM-12PM | $15.00 / $25.00

Get ready to get your hands messy — literally! In this fun family clay workshop, we’ll be using our own hands not just to build, but to shape our clay bowls. You’ll press, mold, and shape the clay using your hands to create one-of-a-kind bowls that are as unique as you are. Add texture and decorations to make your clay hands truly stand out! You can choose to make two smaller bowls or combine them into one larger piece — the choice is yours. To finish, we’ll add a custom paint job to bring your creations to life with color and personality.

CUPCAKE JAR: SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 2026 - 10AM-12PM | $15.00 / $25.00

What would you hide inside a cupcake? Come find out in this sweet and creative family clay workshop! We’ll start by building the cupcake base using slab-building techniques to form the “cake.” Then, we’ll wrap and stack clay coils to create a swirly, textured “frosting” on top. Once your cupcake is built, you’ll have the chance to decorate it any way you like — add sprinkles, patterns, or even a hidden surprise inside! To finish, we’ll give our cupcakes a fabulous paint job to make them look almost good enough to eat.
