THE SETTING

Waterfront Patio, Sun, and Good Vibes

The workshop takes place on a laid-back patio by the water—an environment designed for easy conversation, fresh air, and the kind of slow, deliberate making that suits beginners and practiced hands alike.

THE PROCESS

Guided Bud Vase Creation for All Levels

Participants are led through shaping and designing a ceramic bud vase with step-by-step guidance—no prior experience required—so everyone leaves with a handmade object and a little more confidence at the wheel.

THE SOCIAL

Music, Drinks, and Time Well Spent

Beyond the clay, the session emphasizes relaxed company: music sets the tone and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are available to round out the experience.

What the day feels like

What the Workshop Feels Like

The two‑hour session unfolds on a sunny patio by the water: you arrive, settle in with a drink, and follow a guided sequence of shaping, decorating, and finishing your own bud vase. The atmosphere is intentionally casual—good music and conversation accompany hands‑on instruction so the making feels social as much as skill‑building.
