[sculpture sessions] — 1000 vessels

[sculpture sessions] — 1000 vessels

$75 / human

listen to the birds sing as we play with clay and stretch our imagination. these are mixed-level sessions where people of different levels of experience all come to the studio to create simple, beautiful objects in a lush garden.

upcoming workshops

what’s class like?

come spend thursday evenings handbuilding* vessels with us. we’ll use flat slabs & snakes of clay along with a lil bit of mud to create interesting works of art without the use of the potter’s wheel. in this class you’ll make taller, more complex forms using age-old techniques and decorate your pottery using contemporary techniques. we’ll mostly be employing the coil and pinch method of building, but other techniques will come into play. 

*this is a more straightforward approach to making functional objects without the use of the potter’s wheel. you can easily adjust your projects based on your desires. come with inspiration!

we’ll look mostly to historical pots for inspiration, so your vessel could be a basic vase, a sculptural vás, a wide and open piece for ikebana flower arrangements… options are endless. students will walk away with a better understanding building larger vessels and new ideas for decorating 3D objects.

all the lovely little details

what to expect in sculpture + handbuilding:

what you’ll make:

we’ll focus on different shapes, techniques or forms in each class, so it’s always a little different. you’ll walk away knowing how to create mugs, bowls, cups, vases, or other objects depending on what classes you take :-) we can make anything at the table.

where we’ll make it:

classes occur outdoors under cover.

expect flora, fauna, and general #florida phenomena. make sure to dress for a mess and the weather - long pants and/or closed toed shoes are recommended. 

how we’ll glaze it:

you can choose a glaze and we’ll finish your pieces for you or you can schedule with us separately.

if you’re thinking you’d like to take multiple sessions, DIY glazing options are including and you can come back go the studio to glaze your work when you’re ready. 

when you’ll get it:

pieces take approximately 3-6 weeks to move through the firing process. we’ll be in touch when work is ready, but feel free to contact us for an update.

are all materials provided?

for single session riders, cost includes clay, glaze, and firing for your work ❤️

if you’re thinking you’d like to take multiple sessions, youll get extra clay to practice with during the week. DIY glazing options are included, so you can come back go the studio to glaze your work when you’re ready.
