Get hands-on with clay in our ceramic sculpture 101 class in Los Angeles! Whether you’re completely new to ceramics or just curious to try something creative, this pottery workshop is the perfect introduction to sculpting with clay.
Your instructor will guide you step-by-step through essential hand-building techniques like slipping and scoring, coil building, and slab construction—all the foundational skills you’ll need to shape your first masterpiece.
Throughout the class, you’ll have the freedom to sculpt your own unique creation—functional or decorative—with all tools, materials, and glazes provided. Don’t worry about perfection; this is a space to explore, play, and enjoy the tactile experience of working with clay.
After class, your sculpture begins its journey through the kiln. It will dry completely before being fired twice and glazed with food-safe materials. Once it’s finished—about six weeks later—we’ll carefully package it for easy pick-up, ready to display, use, or gift! This class is a relaxed and supportive way to explore ceramics in a welcoming LA studio, perfect for anyone looking to tap into their creativity.

Clay CA is an artist-run ceramic studio located in Los Angeles’ Chinatown. The studio offers a range of workshops, equipment, a one-of-a-kind glaze chemistry room, pottery wheels, kiln space, and 24-hour studio space. CLAY CA is a community space meant to encourage creative growth and experimentation, along with investigating and understanding the structural form of clay. Given society’s hyperactive use of technology, we find that fostering a sense of community and being present are more important than ever. Our goal is to provide Los Angeles with more access to personal interactions, cognitive building skills, and ceramic knowledge. We welcome people of all backgrounds and places!
