Face Pot Planter
Build a planter with personality.
In this extended, hands-on workshop, you’ll design and create your own ceramic planter from the ground up, then bring it to life by sculpting a face directly onto the form. This class allows more time to slow down, explore form, and develop expressive details. You’ll learn the basics of hand-building larger vessels, proper construction for planters, and techniques for sculpting facial features that feel balanced and intentional.
No prior experience required. This workshop is ideal for beginners, intermediate makers, and anyone looking to spend a few immersive hours working with clay. Perfect for couples, friend and family members. Children ages 10 and up welcome with an adult.
$110 per person or $95 per person with group of 4 or more. Members get $15% off.
What’s Included
● All materials, clay, tools, and firing
● Instruction in hand-building planters and facial sculpture
● One finished, food-safe, glazed face planter with drainage
● Finished pieces ready for pickup in approximately 3-4 weeks
