Celebrate the Fourth of July weekend with a creative escape to the studio. In this 2-hour class, you'll learn the coiling method to handbuild your own ceramic vase — no experience necessary.
We'll guide you through shaping and smoothing your form, and after class we'll take care of glazing and firing your piece. Your finished vase will be ready for pickup or shipping (at cost) in about 4–6 weeks.
It's a perfect way to slow down, get your hands dirty, and make something beautiful.

Originally from France, she brings a quiet precision and deep respect for material to both her teaching and artistic practice. At L’Atelier, Benedicte leads intimate, hands-on wheel throwing and hand building classes, supporting students in building skill, confidence, and connection through clay. As co-creator of Mutual Core, a sculptural speaker project that merges sound and form, she explores the intersection of ceramics, design, and sensory experience. Her classes reflect the ethos of the studio she helped build: focused, welcoming, and grounded in the quiet joy of making.
