Build Your Own Bird Abode

Get your hands muddy—and give your garden a new home!
Join us for a laid-back, hands-on workshop where you'll design and build your own ceramic bird abode from scratch. Whether you're looking to attract feathered friends or just want a charming handmade piece for your space, this class is the perfect mix of function and creativity.

You'll learn slab building techniques to construct your bird abode—rolling, cutting, and assembling clay into a sturdy structure. Customize the shape, entrance, and surface details to create something truly your own. Go rustic and earthy or add playful textures—we’ll guide you every step of the way.
