The Classes

1. Pottery Projects

Choose your project type and we'll guide you through the full process: shaping, painting, and firing. We use premium clay sourced from Japan and food-safe, lead-free ceramic paints. Every piece leaves our kiln properly fired — no shortcuts.

A. Matcha Bowls & Mugs
We teach you the foundations, then you run with it even beyond matcha bowls or mugs. 3 hours to make 1 complex piece or 2 simpler ones. Painting is included in the session.

B. Plates & Ramen Bowls
Slab pottery done right. We teach you how to avoid cracks and get clean, flat results. No size limits — our kilns can handle it. 3 hours can make you 2 to 3 simple plates or 1 ramen bowl.

C. Vases & Lamps
Pinch, slab, and coil your way to a sculptural piece. The techniques we teach apply far beyond vases — once you get the hang of it, you can free-form the whole session.

We're generous with materials. All project types include unlimited paint. Use what you need within your session time.

2. Bronze Clay Jewelry

You start with clay. You leave with metal.

Shape, mold, and engrave your design — then our team takes it from there. Each piece is fired and polished in-house until it's ready. Solid bronze, warm-toned, made by you. Pickup in about two weeks.

Bronze clay is still pretty rare here in the Philippines, and we're proud to bring it to you.

What's included: bronze clay, high-fire gems, firing and polishing.

Choose your output at checkout:

Rings: 1 piece
Pendants or charms: 1 to 3 pieces

3. Rug Tufting

Your design. Your colors. Your rug — finished and ready to bring home the same day.

We walk you through every step: choosing yarn, tufting your design, gluing, backing, trimming, and the final clean.

Before your session, we'll reach out so you can send us your design. We'll draw it onto the fabric ahead of time — so when you arrive, you can skip the setup and get straight to tufting.

Choose your size:

Solo (Big) — 60x60cm frame, 20x20" rug, for 1 person
Pair (Big) — 60x60cm frame, 20x20" rug, shared by 2 people (1 output)
Solo (Small) — 45x45cm frame, 15x15" rug, for 1 person

All rug sessions include: unlimited yarn colors, tufting gun, threader, scissors, glue, and backing kit.

Our Commitment to you

We're particular about materials and firing — not because we're precious about it, but because it genuinely affects what you take home.

Incomplete firing causes moisture and mold over time. So we use premium Japanese clay, lead-free food-safe paints, and proper multi-stage kiln firing on every single piece. That care is just part of the class.

Can we bring food and drinks?
We'd love to say yes, but the studio space doesn't allow it. Leave the snacks for after — there's great food in the mall.

Can I reschedule?
Our schedules are fixed, so rescheduling isn't available. We recommend booking a date you're confident about.

What if I can't make it?
We aren't able to offer refunds, and seats that aren't filled can't be held. If something comes up, let us know — but please know the seat will be forfeited.

Taking Your Work Home

Pottery: Your piece goes through a multi-stage process after class — drying, then fired twice in the kiln. This takes around 6 to 8 weeks. We'll reach out when it's ready.

Bronze Clay: Each piece is carefully fired and polished by our team before it reaches you. Expect about 2 weeks.

Rug Tufting: Yours to bring home the same day. We'll teach you how to glue, back, trim, and finish your rug before you leave.
