This private ceramic workshop is an invitation to slow down and create an altar as a personal object of meaning, intention, and presence.

Held one-on-one in my Boulder, Colorado studio, the session offers dedicated time and guidance—an opportunity to step away from distraction and focus fully on the process of making.

Together, we’ll work through traditional hand-building and coil techniques, shaping your altar from the ground up. The emphasis is not on perfection, but on presence—allowing the form to emerge gradually, guided by your own rhythm, intuition, and intention.

Throughout the session, we’ll explore proportion, structure, and subtle, meaningful details—creating a piece that feels both grounded and personal.

During the workshop, you will:

• Design and hand-build a one-of-a-kind ceramic altar
• Learn foundational hand-building techniques using professional materials and tools
• Incorporate personal elements or symbolic details
• Prepare your piece for firing in the kiln

All materials, tools, glazing, and firing are included. After the session, I will complete the glazing and firing process, and you’ll be notified when your altar is ready for pickup, typically within four weeks.

Scheduling is arranged individually, allowing the experience to unfold at a pace that feels considered and unhurried.

This offering is suited for those seeking a quieter, more intentional relationship with making—whether you are new to clay, returning to it, or simply drawn to creating something with care and meaning.
