Create a one-of-a-kind ceramic keepsake just in time for Valentine’s Day! In this hands-on public workshop, participants will learn handbuilding techniques to design and construct heart-shaped ceramic boxes—perfect for holding jewelry, notes, or small treasures.
This workshop is welcoming to all skill levels. Instructors will guide you step-by-step through forming, assembling, and decorating your box, with time to personalize your piece using texture, carving, and surface details. Whether you’re creating a gift for someone special or a meaningful piece for yourself, this workshop offers a relaxed and creative afternoon in the studio.
All clay, tools, glazing, and firings are included. Finished pieces will be glazed and fired by the studio and available for pickup at a later date.
No prior experience necessary. Space is limited ❤️
