Art is access
Art is empathy
Art is growth
Art equalizes us

Coming Up
CLAY & SIP
May 7th from 7:30 - 9:30 pm | $40 per person | +21 if sipping alcohol
Feel like you'd like some you time to squeeze, smush, and shape your stress away? Grab your mom, a family member, or a friend (plus a bottle) and come to clay & sip! This time, we'll be making a cup to sip wine, or your favorite beverage. During this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll follow along with an artist instructing basic skills like slab, pinch, and coil-building to make a one of a kind piece. But it’s also all about having fun, so if you want to do your own things and just embrace the experience of something new, you can do that too! You will be able to craft a beautiful cup to take home and display proudly and enjoy a few glasses of your favorite beverage too! Wear clothes to get messy in. Class is BYOB
Please note that pieces will be fired/glazed and ready to pick up in about 3 weeks
Here's a sneak peak at future clay & sip (dates tbd):
- June- pendants or beads
- July- a vase
- August- a pipe
