Pottery Workshops

100% of workshop proceeds are donated to communities impacted by genocide and war.

Cost:

While I strive to raise as much money as possible, its also important to me that creating art is accessible.

All workshops have a “pay what you can” range which depends on the total # of people in each workshop:
– 1 person: $70 – $300 per person
– 2 people: $40 – $250 per person
– 3 people: $30-$230 per person
– 4-15 people: $25 – $200 per person

“We had so much fun!! Ariana’s class offered the perfect environment to joyfully learn the basic tenants of wheel throwing and have a chance to create simple works on the wheel on the first day!
Ariana is patient and warm in her instruction and guidance throughout the session. Highly recommend to anyone who has always wanted to try pottery or even intermediate potters looking for cozy and friendly studio space”
