BLACK & POC Clay Artist Studio Day

TICKETS GO ON SALE (FREE) APRIL 20th @ 11AM

This is an open session clay making workshop. Each person will receive 1-2 pounds of cone 6 clay and access to our basic hand building tools and supplies. Pieces can be taken home, or left in the studio for us to fire in 2 weeks once fully dried. Finished work can be picked up from Starr Garden to glaze or cold finish on your own, or join us for a Clay Play session in the future to glaze and fire your piece fully at Starr Garden.

You’re welcome to bring any of your own tools. We unfortunately do not have any wheels on site, but email me and maybe you can convince me to bring out my Small Ceramics wheel for people to try!

Snacks and non-alchoholic beverages are welcome and encouraged! Lets relax and get to know each other during out time together.

About the space:This event is located in the Starr Garden Playground rec center. The main entrance is closed while updating the playground. The side entrance on Lombard Street will be open and leads directly into the space. The rec center is mostly used for after school programs and kids camps but is empty in the evenings so they allow us to have adult programming. You’re welcome to bring your own water bottle or snacks, and there will be light music and a social studio atmosphere rather than a classroom.

Organized by The Craft Coven, this event is part of a community oriented series of creative enrichment projects focused on affordability for all.
