Did you know you can book a private event with us?

We can welcome 6 - 10 participants at the Studio for your group of friends, family or colleagues for a fun and oddly relaxing 3-hr clay workshop.

From September to mid-November, we have openings on Friday afternoons from 1pm-4pm and we are saving some evenings in November and December.

Send us a message here or via our website to start planning your event.

Hey there! You've probably noticed we changed our pricing on Clay Nights and Classes. Believe us, it's not an easy decision. It is one we've been delaying because we're all too aware of the broader economic context.

We offer workshops and classes because we love to share our passion for clay but we also need, on occasion, to sit down and be bit of a hard-nosed businessperson.

This post is meant to educate on all the non-visible things that need to happen for us to plan and run successful events.

🚨Restocking 🚨

We've been running low on our honeypot mugs this Summer... well, no more!

We just finished sanding a batch of freshly fired mugs in Clotted Cream, Latte, Sage, Forest and Storm Cloud.

We're getting ready for Halloween. Are you?

There is still availability in our Halloween Lantern Clay Night for adults on Monday September 14th from 6pm - 9pm.

AND.... the September 21st Halloween Lantern is going to be dedicated to parent-child duos!!

We know many of you have been patiently waiting for more Parent-Child workshops and we are happy to have figured out how to make it possible with the lantern project.
