Studio Sessions — How It Works

Your only job is to show up.
A Studio Session is a fully guided, hands-on clay experience, and Karen handles everything else. She arrives with all the materials, sets up a beautiful workspace, leads your group through building an original ceramic piece, and leaves with everything when it’s done. A few weeks later, she returns with finished, professionally fired pottery ready to display, use, or gift.
No experience necessary. No cleanup for you. Just two hours of making something real.

What Happens, Start to Finish

Before your session
Karen arrives 30 minutes early to set up — clay, tools, aprons, water, glaze samples, and waterproof table coverings. By the time your guests walk in, everything is ready and waiting.

During your session (2 hours)
Karen opens with a short demonstration, then guides your group through hand-building their own ceramic piece from start to finish. Guests choose their glaze color from Karen’s curated tile collection. The pace is relaxed, the atmosphere is creative, and no two pieces ever come out the same.

After your session
Karen packs everything up and transports all the pieces back to her studio. Your space is left exactly as she found it.
The finishing process (approximately 3–4 weeks)
This is where the real magic happens. Each piece goes through Karen’s full professional finishing process — the same one she uses for her own collected work:
∙ Pieces dry fully before the first firing
∙ Bisque firing: 8–10 hours in the kiln, plus cooling
∙ Each piece is rinsed and rested for 24 hours before glazing
∙ Karen professionally glazes every piece by hand
∙ Glaze firing: 10–12 hours, plus cooling
∙ Pieces are carefully packaged and delivered to you
What comes back isn’t a craft project. It’s a finished ceramic piece — food-safe, durable, and made to last.
