Grounded, sculptural, and a little earthy—this two-part clay workshop will guide you through the satisfying process of hand-building vessels, no kiln required. Perfect for beginners, you’ll learn simple techniques to shape and finish one-of-a-kind pinch and coil pots.

Each week builds on the last:

Week 1: Pinch & Coil Pot Fundamentals (Sept 9)

• Warm up with a pinch pot to feel clay’s natural tension
• Build a small bowl or vase using the pinch technique
• Add height or variation with coils
• Explore textures through carving or natural impressions
  Take home 1–2 pieces to dry and finish in Week 2
  
  

Week 2: Surface Decoration & Finishing (Sept 16)

• Light sanding and sealing techniques
• Paint with acrylics or soft washes
• Add personality with dotting tools, pens, or metallic accents
  Take home your finished, sealed clay vessels
  
  

What’s included:

• All clay, tools, and paints provided—no kiln needed
• Step-by-step guidance for forming and decorating
• One complimentary Glacial Water cocktail (honeydew + rosemary infused vodka, grape vodka, mint syrup, lemonade—refreshing and exclusive to this event)
  
  

No experience required—just bring your curiosity and maybe a friend. Space is limited, so reserve your seat and make something beautiful.
