Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM CST
Event Description:

Had a long week? Feeling stressed, burnt out, or just need to hit reset?
Rage With Clay is a hands-on clay experience designed to help you let it out—no experience needed and perfection absolutely not required.

This is not your typical pottery class. You’ll be encouraged to slam, rip, rebuild, and reshape clay in a supportive, judgment-free environment. Ugly is encouraged. Messy is welcome. Laughing is expected.

You’ll leave feeling lighter—and with a piece you choose to keep (or not).

Therapy is expensive. This is cheaper.


🧱 How the Class Is Structured

Skill Level: Beginner-friendly

  • Warm-Up Release:
    We start by moving clay—slabbing, ripping, and breaking it apart. No pressure to make anything “good.”

  • Break & Rebuild:
    You’ll quickly build a piece, intentionally take it apart, then rebuild using what’s left. This is where the stress melts away.

  • Choose Your Path:
    In the final portion, you can either refine one piece to keep or continue breaking and rebuilding just for the experience.

  • Wrap-Up:
    You’ll choose up to one finished piece to be fired and glazed. Anything else will be reclaimed—no guilt, no waste.


✨ What’s Included

  • Clay, tools, instruction

  • One finished piece fired & glazed

  • Apron provided
