About this Event

Empanada Incense Holder Workshop (Make & Paint – Same Day Finish!)


Get ready for one of the most unique (and oddly satisfying) pottery classes we’ve ever dropped…


In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your very own ceramic empanada incense holder — yes, it looks like food… but it’s actually functional art 👀🔥


You’ll start by learning the fundamentals of handbuilding with clay, including:


  • Slab building techniques
  • Coil construction for shaping and support
  • How to form and seal your empanada
  • Sculpting and crimping those iconic pastry edges



Then we take it up a notch…


Using a heat gun technique, we’ll speed up the drying process so you can:

👉 Carve, refine, and shape your final design

👉 Add your incense holder opening

👉 Get your piece ready to glaze the same day


Finally, you’ll bring your empanada to life with our signature glaze system, designed to give that perfect “toasted pastry” finish ✨





🥟 Choose Your Flavor:



What kind of empanada are you making?


  • 🌶️ Fire Empanada – bold, spicy red toasted edges
  • 🧀 Cheesy Empanada – golden melt-inspired glaze
  • 🌿 Herb Empanada – earthy, natural green tones
  • 🌙 Midnight Empanada – black with celestial gold details
  • 🥟 OG Empanada – classic toasted pastry finish






💡 What You’ll Leave With:



  • Your own handmade functional incense holder
  • A piece that’s 100% unique (and guaranteed conversation starter)
  • A new skillset in handbuilt ceramics


🎟️ Details:



  • 💲 $50 per person
  • ⏱️ 1.5 hour class
  • 🎨 Make + Paint in one session
  • 🔥 Pieces will be fired and ready for pickup at a later date



This class is beginner-friendly, wildly fun, and perfect for:

✨ Date nights

✨ Friends’ nights out

✨ Trying something completely different
