About this Event

Mother’s Day: Make Your Own Terra Cotta Planter


Calling all plant lovers—this one’s for you.
Join us for a laid-back Mother’s Day workshop where you and Mom (or someone like Mom) can build your own terra cotta planter from scratch. It’s a great way to spend time together and create something your plants will actually love.


In this beginner-friendly handbuilding class, you’ll shape and assemble your planter using rich, red terra cotta clay—perfect for keeping your plants happy and your space looking good. Customize the form, add surface details, and make something that fits your style, whether your vibe is clean and minimal or a little more textured and earthy.


A good plant deserves a good pot—and this one will be made by you.


Come as a duo or make one as a gift—either way, you’ll leave with muddy hands and a planter ready for its next resident.


Instructor: Caelin McDaniel
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. Planters are pretty forgiving, but we’ll still show you how to build strong.

Finished pieces are typically ready 2–4 weeks after the class ends. Pick-up details will be provided.
