Botanical Impression Windowsill Vase Workshop

Clay has never felt so good in your hands -- and in this ceramics class with artist Anita Hettena, you'll walk away with a one-of-a-kind ceramic vase you actually made yourself! Set inside Anita's private studio in La Mesa, this hand-building workshop is one of those creative activities that feels less like a class and more like a really good afternoon. You'll work with clay slabs, plants, and found objects to press unique botanical impressions into your very own windowsill vase, and Anita will handle all the drying, firing, and glazing so your plant prints truly pop.First-timers, this one's for you. Anita's studio is relaxed, welcoming, and judgment-free -- the kind of space where you can show up with zero ceramics experience and still leave feeling like an artist. Whether you're hunting for date ideas, a solo creative escape, or just something genuinely fun to do in La Mesa, this workshop delivers. Studio dog Jelly may also make an appearance (just give Anita a heads up if you have allergies or aren't a dog person).A few weeks after your session, your finished ceramic vase gets fired, glazed, and sent home with you -- a tangible, beautiful reminder that you made something with your own two hands. That's not nothing. That's everything! Please keep in mind that you can bring one friend, partner, or family member for no additional cost
