What you'll do
Get your hands muddy and your creativity blooming with this playful two-part ceramics and floral arrangement course in San Francisco. You’ll learn how to make a clay vase from scratch–no pottery experience needed–and return to fill it with fresh flowers in a vibrant floral design session. Bay Area artist and botanical designer Sammy Gripe keeps things light, welcoming, and beginner-friendly, so whether you’re new to clay class or curious about floral arrangements, you’ll feel right at home. In the first session, you’ll hand-build your vase using pinch, coil, and slab techniques–perfect for those wavy edges and sculptural shapes that make every piece one-of-a-kind. Once your masterpiece is glazed and fired, you’ll come back to your finished vase–and give it a second life with blooms. In this floral design session, Sammy will guide you through approachable, professional-level arranging techniques tailored to your unique piece. You’ll learn how to trim stems for longer-lasting flowers, use greenery to create a natural “grid” for structure, and identify focal points to make your arrangement pop. From color play to balancing shape and style, you’ll walk away with a gorgeous finished vase and the skills to keep your blooms–and creativity–thriving long after class ends.
What you'll get
- Handmade ceramic vase–sculpted, glazed, and kiln-fired by you
- Fresh floral arrangement–designed and styled during the second session
- Clay and floral design skills
- Creative confidence boost
- Light snacks, self-serve coffee and tea bar, and BYOB welcome
