Holiday Ceramics Workshop

Add some handmade magic to your holidays at these beginner-friendly workshops, hosted by the female-owned Handmade in Venice Beach. On November 24 and December 8, head to Cafe Gratitude with some friends to make your own clay ornaments for trimming your tree. On December 4, you can try your hand at creating gifts (the sky is the limit, but you can never go wrong with a nice mug or tray). Materials and festive decorations are included in the price. You can take home the pieces as they are (though they'll be brittle) or pay a $10–$15 fee to have them bisque and glaze fired, then pick them up a week later.
