About this Event

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.

Instructor: Taylor States
Cost: $50 per person — includes all materials, tools, and firing

Accessing the Studio:
The PACA building doors are locked. When you arrive, please call (814) 520-5089 and your instructor will buzz you in.

Accessibility:
If you need elevator access (we’re on the third floor), email [email protected] ahead of time, and we’ll assist. The elevator is old-fashioned and cannot be called with a button.

FAQs – We’ve Got You!

👶 Age Limit?
Ages 16+.

💸 Refunds?
Full refunds are available if requested at least 48 hours before the first class. Processing fees may apply. No refunds for missed classes.

👕 What to Wear?
Comfy clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Tie back long hair and skip the jewelry.

🎨 Is this beginner-friendly?
Yep! This class is great for anyone just getting started on their clay adventure.

💔 What if something cracks or warps?
We handle work with care, but ceramics can be unpredictable. Slab-built forms can shift slightly, but we’ll show you how to build strong.

📦 When do I pick up my work?
Finished pieces are typically ready 2–4 weeks after the class ends. Pick-up details will be provided.
