Art Moments in Miami
Antoine Watteau, The Embarkation for Cythera, 1717
Our studio is a creative third space — a pause between home and work… plus, a gentle rebellion against screens, our busy schedules, and the pressure to always perform. This is a place to just, be.
Inspired by wabi-sabi, here — nothing needs to be finished, perfect, or permanent.
Let’s table ‘the outcome’, the goal here is to romanticize your life, it’s an invitation to let your inner creative curious child come out to play — whatever art you make is cherry on top.
Wheel Throwing for Beginners - 2 Hour Class
Wheel Throwing is truly such a special experience — fun, messy, grounding, and a little bit magical. It’s one of those skills that feels both challenging and incredibly rewarding in the best way. Come as you are and enjoy a chill, creative 2 hours with friends, a date, or even just some much-needed solo time to reconnect with your muse.
We’ll guide you through the whole process, set you up with everything you need, and cheer you on as you create your own one-of-a-kind pieces. Let’s get our hands muddy, make some memories, and see what beautiful shapes you bring to life.
Your ticket includes all materials, tools, and instructor support. (Food + drinks aren’t included, and firing your pieces is totally optional.)
WHAT’S INCLUDED
The ticket is $100 per person—please purchase a ticket for each guest. Food and drinks are not included.
Our class is perfect for beginners and will cover:
An introduction to clay, pottery, and how to throw simple shapes on the wheel.
3+ lbs of clay to create basic forms like bowls or small vases.
All materials, tools, and equipment (including the wheel) are provided.
Firing is not included in the class—you get to choose what you’d like to do next.
During the class, you’ll have up to 2, maybe 3 attempts (time permitting and depending on your progress) to create pieces. At the end of the session, you’ll have the option to fire and finish any pieces for $10 each. If you decide not to keep or fire your work, no worries—you’ll still walk away with a fun, hands-on experience!
DETAILS
Our studio is located at 5400 NE 4th Court, Miami FL 33137.

Wheel Throwing for Beginners — A Mindful Ceramics Experience in Miami
4 weeks · Wednesdays 7PM to 9PM · Starting July 22nd, 2026
Discover one of the most grounding creative practices available — wheel throwing pottery. This beginner-friendly, small-group workshop in Miami is designed for anyone looking to slow down, disconnect from screens, and reconnect with something real.
Over four Wednesday evenings at El Studio (Miami), you'll learn the foundational skills of wheel throwing: centering clay, pulling walls, trimming, and glazing your finished pieces. But more than technique, you'll experience the meditative rhythm of working with your hands — a proven way to reduce stress, quiet the mind, and build presence.
Pottery is mindfulness in motion. Studies show that creative, tactile practices lower cortisol, support emotional regulation, and improve focus. Whether you're navigating burnout, looking for a screen-free hobby, or simply craving a weekly ritual that's just for you — this is it.
What you'll gain:
Core wheel throwing skills (centering, pulling, trimming, glazing)
A consistent weekly mindfulness and creative practice
A small, supportive community of fellow beginners
Handmade ceramic pieces to take home
Perfect for: beginners, burnout recovery, stress relief, mindfulness seekers, creative wellness, date nights, solo self-care, Miami locals looking for unique wellness experiences

Édouard Manet: Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe, 1863
El Studio (our new spot) is a cozy space that invites you to create more and consume less. Nothing here needs to be perfect, art just needs to spark curiosity, and bring joy.
Join us to reconnect with your creative muse, make art & make new creative friends.
We also love to transform Miami’s coolest restaurants, bars, cafes, hotels, museums, parks and breweries into our own little art studio - a third space - where you can find calm and inspiration.
Our goal is to bring people together IRL and away from their phones - if just for a little bit - to make more cool 💩 so we can deal with the 🐂💩 - ☺️🤞🏼🫶🏼
