Hand-building is a process for making ceramic pieces by which everything is crafted by hand (or with the help of tools) rather than thrown on the pottery wheel. It allows for a natural, handmade look, and is an incredibly therapeutic form of tactile art-making.

Participants will be given either one or two pounds of clay - that is enough for a mug, a bowl, a jewelry dish, a few coasters, and many other things that may spark your interest! If inspiration strikes, I am happy to walk individuals through the process of bringing their unique vision to life.

After the workshop, if the company has opted for the finished piece workshop package, I will take everyone’s pieces and glaze and fire them myself. I allow participants to choose one or two glazes for their piece. Yes, most of the glazes are food safe! If not, I make sure to mention during the glaze selection process.

Not at all! My workshops are beginner-friendly. I guide participants through simple hand-building techniques step by step, ensuring everyone—regardless of experience—leaves with a finished piece they’re proud of.

Corporate team-building workshops can be held for teams of up to 50 people.

Making any type of art can be a vulnerable process, which is why it’s my priority to make my workshops a calming, inclusive experience for all. I work to create a safe and supportive space where creativity can flourish!
