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.
