Cacao & Clay: A Heart-Centered Creative Gathering

Join us for a grounding morning of ceremonial cacao, meditation, sound, and creative expression in the welcoming space of Carly Quinn's Studio C.

We’ll begin with cacao, lovingly prepared in a handmade flameware ceramic pitcher, accompanied by a brief introduction to cacao and its place in ceremony and connection. Together, we’ll settle into a short guided meditation with sound, creating space to soften, arrive, and reconnect with ourselves.

From this heart-centered, grounded, and open place, we’ll move into glazing ceramic tiles, allowing color, intuition, and creativity to guide the process. No artistic experience is needed, just a willingness to slow down, explore, and create.

Please bring: Your own yoga mat, pillows, and blankets for your comfort during the meditation.

Come as you are, sip slowly, breathe deeply, and let your creativity flow. ♡

This Studio C instructor-led workshop is great for beginners and all levels of art experience. 

This workshop is a non-refundable policy.

You will walk step by step through hand glazing a 3x6" ceramic tile in the cuerda seca "dry cord" style, where wax outlines create a barrier between glaze colors. You will be able to choose your own color palette. All materials are provided.

The instructor will kiln fire your tile after the workshop. It will be given a cork backing, and it will be available for pickup or shipping in one week after the workshop. 

This beginner workshop will not cover wax drawing or screen printing. See other workshops for advanced techniques. Please note Carly Quinn is not the instructor for our workshops

*Expect that your tile art may have natural blemishes, pull backs, and pinholes that occur during the kiln firing process; While we will provide guidance in this workshop, it is a beginner level class to experiment with this glazing style, and we cannot guarantee the final quality of your DIY art. No refunds are provided due to imperfections in your fired art.*
