MUD & MOON: A Full Moon Clay Gathering

Join us for a special evening celebrating our connection to the full moon 🌕

We will mindfully use earth as our medium through the art of clay. Each session has been thoughtfully-crafted and will focus on a different way of making with clay, with Cathy providing gentle guidance through the process whether you are a seasoned potter or a complete beginner, everyone is welcome!

We'll end each gathering with a fire ritual to release past intentions to clear space for the new. See details below for the focus of each session.

Afterward, you’ll choose glazes for your piece, which we'll fire and have ready for pick-up in 3-4 weeks.
