OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT!
Workshops are a great opportunity to dive into the clay experience in just either one or two sessions. Remember clay takes patience! Pieces need to be fired at least TWICE before you can take home your treasures. Great for all levels depending on the focus of that particular workshop. Whether you're flying solo, planning a fun outing with friends, or seeking the perfect date night, our one to two-time sculpting classes have something for everyone! Each workshop will have live demonstrations with step-by-step guidance to walk you through the process of creating a piece.
A workshop series we are excited to launch is Local Artists workshops. That is right! We have some incredibly talented AND famous artists living locally here and within the Sacramento area. Our intention is to bring them into Earthbound so they can share their incredible skills with us. These are individuals who are experts in their clay craft, and you won’t want to miss out on opportunities to learn from them!
** EVENTS: If you have a particular project, you and your friends want to create and have a group of at least 8, call us and we can get something scheduled for your own group creative event!!
