Studio Calmplex - Hand Building a Cup & Plate Set

​Hand Building

​Try your hand at building ceramics from scratch in this casual, one-day class. Ideal for beginners, this session introduces the essentials of hand-building, letting you shape and decorate your own pottery piece.

​What You’ll Create:

​​Guests will form and decorate a small cup and plate set and choose between two glaze colors.

​​Firing of each guest's ceramics will take approximately 3-4 weeks, we will send out an email when your custom-made pieces are ready to be picked up and taken home!

​Studio Calmplex began with a love for craftsmanship, tea, and the joy of gathering people. What started as an idea among friends has become a space where creativity and community meet. Here, we explore the art of ceramics, celebrate the beauty of tea, and share moments through thoughtful design.

​Whether you’re shaping clay, enjoying a cup of tea, or browsing our lifestyle goods, we hope you feel connected, calm, and inspired. At Studio Calmplex, it’s about slowing down, finding joy in small things, and discovering something new along the way.

​20% of the proceeds from ticket sales will support EnoB:
