ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE
Handmade pottery.
Painted by you.
Each piece at this workshop was wheel-thrown by hand in a community studio in Somerville, not cast, not mass-produced. They carry the subtle souvenirs of something made slowly, with heart and intention.
You'll paint your piece with underglaze, guided by the artist who made it. Afterward, she'll take it back to the studio, glaze and fire it, and you'll pick up something that will last a lifetime.
Perfect for an afternoon of making memories with mom - maybe after brunch, maybe as the whole afternoon.
