Wanna play?
We host creative gatherings where you show up just as you are. No experts required.
House Hangs. Date nights. Girls' nights. Garden get togethers.
Let's hang out and make something :)
WHAT TO EXPECT
All ages. All skill levels. This is for you.
All sessions include materials and firing.
Working with clay, your pieces will be ready 4–6 weeks after your session, and will be available for pickup (addresses provided when booking.)
One more thing: Clay is unpredictable. We do everything we can to help your pieces make it through the kiln safely, but sometimes they crack or break. This is the nature of making -- Sometimes it’s heartbreaking. But also, sometimes accidents are beautiful. A crack can add character. It reminds you that this isn't mass produced in China, but made by your own two hands.
LET'S GET MESSY TOGETHER
With clay, the possibilities are endless. If you've got something in particular you want to make, let's talk about it! Questions? Want to book a date night? Email us: therosiestrevolutionATgmailDOTcom

What's hand building?
Hand-building refers to pieces that aren't made on the wheel. It's ideal for beginners because all you need are your hands. We can construct our objects in a number of ways - by pinching, by roll out slabs, or even rolling coils and attaching them together.
What kinds of hand-building could I do?
Truly, the possibilities are endless! Here are some of the hand-building projects that have inspired me lately. To get your brain spinning, here are a few examples:
COASTERS | Slab or Coil
TRINKETS DISH | Pinch or Coil
SPOON REST | Slab, Pinch or Coil
CHARCUTERIE PLATE | Slab
Vase | Slab or Coil
Nature Plates | Slab or Coil
Most projects can be completed in a single session, but if you're looking to make something more complicated, we can discuss breaking it out over a few sessions.
Can I throw on the wheel?
Absolutely! Please note: We have one wheel at our home studio, so these sessions are for a maximum of two people. If you'd like to work on a small hand-building project when you're not on the wheel, you will be able to do that. Grown-ups: Feel free to BYOB.
If it's my first time throwing, will I be able to make something?
Yes! But remember, we're not mass producing something like in China. Your first items may be a little wonky, because this art takes practice. We'll be with you every step of the way, helping guide your experience whether you want to focus on a specific skill like centering clay, or just want to have fun with the experience.
