Workshop | Make A Ceramic Vase That Hangs On The Wall

I have an orange cat with a human name. Before we found each other, he lived on the street and stole food out of dumpsters. Fair enough, I’ve pulled cake out of the trash and eaten it — more than once. More than twice. Anyhow, now that Steve lives with me, I feed him cat food, but he can’t completely give up his street-cat habits.
Here is an abbreviated list of stuff he’s eaten (and when I say eaten, I mean stolen) when I wasn’t watching: tortillas, pretzel rods, baguettes, jalapeño potato chips, Goldfish crackers, carrots, popcorn, pizza snacks, pasta, and every plant, bunch, or bouquet of flowers I have ever brought home. I would like to have flowers in my house, but I also like my cat. This is what science calls a dilemma, but this is what Studio School calls an opportunity. Imagine this description is a segment on QVC: Flowers With Steve The camera pans to manicured hands (and paws) gesturing towards a bouquet of fresh flowers hanging on the wall.
Studio School makes your dreams come true. For one easy payment of $65 ($58.50 for members) you can craft a ceramic vase and enjoy fresh flowers that your cat can’t eat. Visit or call now. Only 12 spots remaining. Don’t wait. Order now.
Registration closes Jan. 29

Make a connected ceramic bowl and plate to eat the perfect sandwich soup combo. No more balancing a bowl on top of a plate and slopping soup all over your couch. Kittens, it’s 2024, make your life easier.
In 1902, Fannie Merritt Farmer wrote a cookbook called Chafing Dish Possibilities. The cookbook included a recipe for Cheese Boxes, which is a confoundingly mathy recipe that involves cutting stale bread into one-third-inch slices, arranging those slices into box shapes, filling the box with cheese, and sautéing the whole affair in a hot blazer. Clearly the words chafing, dish, fannie and hot blazer had different connotations in the early 1900s because hot blazer sounds like work-wear anxiety sweats; that’s not a chafing possibility, but a chafing nightmare.
Make a ceramic plate and bowl set and I promise to stop saying hot blazers. Pick up your fired and glazed bowl and plate combo in a couple of weeks. Don’t worry, we’ll call your fannie when it’s ready.

During the first workshop session, you'll use hand building techniques to create tea bowls. We'll meet the following weekend to glaze and fire your works using the Raku process.

Make your own time! 2024 is a leap year. This means we get one extra day in the year and that means time really is a meaningless construct because someone adds or subtracts days when they feel like it. Okay, cool? I say they because I’ve been concentrating really hard to subtract Monday through Thursday and add more Saturdays and Sundays, but it’s not working...yet.
Join us to celebrate the fun weirdness of leap year, life, the universe and everything. Learn to embroider your astrological sign, crystals and other woo-woo symbols while having your fortune told. We can’t guarantee you’ll like your fortune, but we're pretty sure you'll have an extra day of fun.
