Step into the strange and whimsical side of clay this September as we create a delightfully eerie Creepy Doll Centerpiece. In this three-hour handbuilding workshop, you’ll learn foundational sculptural techniques to construct and personalize your own expressive doll figure — haunting, humorous, nostalgic, or beautifully bizarre. We’ll explore texture, proportion, and character development while working with slab and sculptural forms. Whether your piece leans gothic, vintage carnival, fractured fairytale, or subtly unsettling, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind centerpiece perfect for fall décor or year-round conversation. As always, the process invites reflection. What parts of ourselves feel hidden, stitched together, exaggerated, or misunderstood? Clay gives us a playful way to explore shadow and story through form. All materials are provided. No prior clay experience necessary — just a willingness to embrace the wonderfully weird.

Gather, create, and design a piece meant to bring people together. In this three-hour handbuilding workshop, you’ll craft your own ceramic charcuterie board — a functional work of art designed for hosting, gifting, and celebrating connection. Using slab-building techniques, you’ll learn how to roll, shape, refine edges, and add texture or carved details to create a board that reflects your personal aesthetic — rustic and organic, modern and minimal, or richly patterned. We’ll discuss surface design, handle options, and finishing touches that elevate your piece from simple platter to statement centerpiece. This workshop is beginner-friendly while still offering room for creative exploration. Whether you love entertaining or simply appreciate beautiful functional art, you’ll leave knowing you’ve created something both practical and meaningful. All materials are provided. No prior clay experience necessary — just a willingness to get your hands messy and make something worth gathering around.
