Can’t make it to one of our classes?
Now’s your chance to try one of our DIY Clay Kits, perfect for crafting at home!
Our DIY kits are a fun and creative way to get your hands in the clay—whether you’re working on your own or with your kids. These kits come with everything you need to make up to 3 pieces of your design—there’s no need to follow a video if you prefer to create freely! However, if you’re looking for a bit of guidance, we’ll also send you a video to help get you started.
DIY Clay Kits make a wonderful gift and are a great way for parents and children to bond over a creative activity. Once you’re done, just bring your pieces back to us—we’ll glaze and fire them to make them truly special!
Abstract Portrait in Clay
This workshop allows you to explore many options for creating a portrait in clay. You will learn how to build with slabs of clay to create facial features from imaginary to realistic. The possibilities are endless. You will see a step-by-step instructional video that can be viewed at your convenience. After completing your portraits, you can drop them off at The Brick Studio on the designated day for bisque and glaze firings (clear glaze only). When the project is glazed, fired, and complete, you will be able to pick up your pieces for further decorating, as shown in the video.
