New Year Short Session:

Don’t let a hectic schedule this New Years keep you from unleashing your creativity!
Join our three-week short session—perfect for those on the go. Discover a fun, fulfilling workshop designed to fit seamlessly into your busy life.

In this three week workshop, you’ll choose a base form—like a toad, gecko, or bear—and build on it to craft your own unique creature. Using molds, shapes, and your imagination, you’ll bring your design to life with one-of-a-kind details. Once complete, your creatures will undergo a raku firing, where alternative and atmospheric techniques will add dynamic textures and finishes. From smooth matte surfaces to crackled and metallic effects, each piece will emerge with its own distinct personality.

Channel your creativity and catch them all—your own raku-fired creations await!

Instructor: Nathan Himes

Six-Week Sessions:

Set The Table Edition:
In this six-week workshop, students will design and create a complete table setting for four, including: plates, bowls, serving platters, and cups. The session will focus on consistency, functionality, and design, teaching techniques to ensure each piece complements the set while maintaining individual character. Students will work on wheel throwing, trimming, and surface decoration, with guidance on creating forms that balance practicality and aesthetics. By the end of the course, you’ll have a full handmade table setting that’s ready to use or display, along with the skills to continue crafting functional
and cohesive ceramics.
