Textured Tree Plates (Custom Coil-Building Clay)! (10/10; 7-9pm)

In this clay workshop, you'll learn all the beginner essentials for coil building, a hand-building technique. You'll be guided through each step with demos, instructions, and personalized tips in an encouraging space! We will make plates and platters by using a regular dish and connecting the clay coils together on top to reveal the tree shape. You are welcome to customize the design to be whatever you want, so long as it is not hateful.

The goals for the night are to explore a new art form, have fun, and make something with your hands! Ceramics is one of the most meditative mediums as it connects us with ourselves, the earth, and all elements. Go ahead and enjoy a night out full of good vibes, goofiness, and mud! :)

Your pieces will be ready for pick up approximately 3-4 weeks after the event (or can be shipped to you for an additional $10 fee). Pottery/ceramics needs to be fired in a kiln twice (once for bisque and the second for glaze), which takes multiple days. Once glaze-fired, the pieces will be non-toxic and safe to use for drinking and eating; they can be put in the dishwasher and microwave but NOT in or on the stove. Both firings are included in the workshop fee and you get to pick how you want your piece to be glazed (colored) in the end!

All classes and workshops are open to anyone over the age of 10 years old, any person under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Note: Shahane will be the instructor! She has taught pottery since 2016, got her BFA in ceramic arts in 2015 with a double minor in art history and psychology, and owns Pudgy's Place with her husband Phillip :)
