Paint, Sip, & Slow Down 🎨🍷 - Sept. 4th
A Gentle Welcome to Sweater Season
When: September 4th from 6:30-8:30
Let’s be real—September sneaks up fast. Between back-to-whatever routines and the slow fade of summer, it’s easy to forget to pause. So we made you a plan: paint something, sip something, and actually enjoy yourself for a couple of hours.
In this evening workshop, we’ll be decorating ceramic plates using colorful underglazes and a technique called sgraffito (aka: scratchin’ some cool art into your paint—it’s fun, we promise). No experience needed—this one’s all about playing with color, connecting with your people, and leaving with something handmade and genuinely you.
What You’ll Do:
• Paint & Carve – Each guest gets a blank 8” ceramic plate to design with underglazes, then carve into. Go full fall mode, try something abstract, write a lil love note—it’s your plate.
• Pick a Glaze – We’ll finish your piece with a clear glaze, fire it in the kiln, and have it ready for pickup in 3–4 weeks.
What’s Included:
• A glass of wine (or two—we won’t judge)
• Tea & sparkling water station
• All the materials, paints, and tools you’ll need
• Aprons to keep your outfit cute and clay-free
• Plenty of good vibes and gentle guidance from our team
Why September?
Because sometimes a little midweek creativity is exactly what your nervous system needs. Come solo, bring a friend, or make it a date night—either way, you’ll leave with something beautiful and an evening well spent.
