Mesa Para 4 - Make your own Dinnerware - 4 Week Workshop

  • 5400 NE 4TH COURT Miami, Florida 33137 United States (map)

Dinnerware Sundays — Hand-Built Plates & Bowls

Join this intimate 4-week workshop dedicated to hand-building your own set of stoneware dinner plates and bowls — using molds or going freestyle to create your own. The intention is to work toward a cohesive set (ideally 4 pieces), with room to customize as you go, while enjoying the calming, meditative process of working with clay.

Over four Sundays, you'll learn the full hand-building process — forming, decorating, glazing, and firing. Each session builds on the last, so attendance at all classes is required.

This is a small-group experience limited to 10 participants, allowing for hands-on guidance and a slower, more connected pace. While the goal is to complete a functional dinnerware set, ceramics is inherently unpredictable — breakage can happen, and perfection isn't promised (that's part of the magic).

We'll meet:

  • Sunday, August 2nd from 4PM – 6PM

  • Sunday, August 9th from 4PM – 6PM

  • Sunday, August 16th from 4PM – 6PM

  • Sunday, August 23rd from 4PM – 6PM

You'll learn:

  • Hand-building basics & workflow

  • Working with molds or freestyle forming

  • Making plates and bowls

  • Surface decoration

  • Glazing and finishing your collection

What's included:

  • All materials, tools, and equipment

  • Instructor guidance

  • All firings

  • Free and easy parking

Inspired by wabi-sabi, here nothing needs to be finished, perfect, or permanent. Forget about the outcome — the goal is simply to let your inner creative curious child come out to play.

We'll offer some beverages, and you're welcome to BYOB (we charge a corkage fee). Expect a few weekly hours of screen-free, meditative making in a beautiful oasis in the middle of Miami.

Our studio — our favorite creative third space — not home, not work, but a pause in between… a gentle rebellion against screens, schedules, and the pressure to perform.

📸 Follow along: @ocisly_ceramics + @elstudio.miami

Cancellation policy: This workshop is non-refundable. No make-up classes are available, as sessions are modular and build week to week. Please register only if you can attend all four Sundays. If need to cancel, we can give you credit to use towards any of the other activities in our studio.

To save on fees, Venmo payments are available — email ocislyceramics@gmail.com for details.

We can't wait to make with you 🤍
