Calling your mom. (No, Really.)

We’re bringing that nostalgic energy of Zoo Pals plates into the clay studio. Makers will use sturdy animal stencils to cut their animal shape from a clay slab, and drape it into a plate mold to create their very own dish. Choose from a handful of summer-themed animals, like a frog, whale, turtle or ladybug. Once the plate takes shape, students will decorate it with colorful Stroke & Coat glazes to bring their animal to life.

Celebrate with Pride

Celebrate Pride Month with a colorful night in the studio making your own ceramic mug. In this beginner-friendly workshop, students will decorate a pre-made mug using bright glazes, Pride-inspired colors, and a collection of affirming and playful LGBTQ+ themed text, stencils and imagery. This class celebrates self-expression, joy and welcoming community. No experience necessary.
