Join Beki for a hands-on clay class during open mic night, where you’ll create your own platter using sgraffito—a surface technique that involves carving through layers to reveal contrast and pattern.

We’ll start by forming a platter, then work with slip and carving tools to build simple, bold designs. Sgraffito is less about perfection and more about paying attention to line and texture. 

This class is designed to be relaxed and social—work at your own pace while music and performance happen around you. Come ready to try something new, get your hands dirty, and create a piece that’s both functional and personal.

No experience needed.

An approachable drawing class focused on movement, structure, and building a figure step by step.

• Gesture: Start with quick poses (30 sec–5 min) to capture movement, balance, and line of action
• Structure: Use simple shapes to understand proportion, depth, and form in space
• Anatomy: Layer in basic anatomy to support and ground the figureLight & Shadow: Add value to define form and bring the drawing together

This approach helps you understand how the figure works, so you can draw both from observation and imagination.

• This is a 4 week multi session class
• Materials
  • compressed charcoal
  • charcoal pencils
  • 6 lb Newsprint pads 50 sht 24x 36”
  • kneaded erasers
  • Sketchbook 

Create a layered clay wall hanging using slabs, texture, and natural materials.

In this class, you’ll work with slab-built clay to form individual pieces, adding texture, carving, and surface detail. You’ll explore how to build depth through layers, then assemble your work into a hanging piece using driftwood.

The focus is on process—working with the clay, experimenting with texture, and seeing how the piece comes together as you go.

You’ll leave with a finished wall hanging that’s both structured and organic, combining clay and natural materials.

No experience needed.

This Class will focus on handbuilding.  

We will start with pinch pots projects and move to Slab work using molds to create a different functional piece each of the following weeks.  We will be able to explore different ways to create forms, texture, color and shapes.
