What is Claybodies?

Claybodies is a ceramic community project offering serene ceramic handbuilding experiences in beautiful natural venues around Los Angeles.

Our goal is to foster connection, creativity and a sense of peace through the therapeutic and joyful act of playing with clay.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, Claybodies provides educational ceramic workshops in a welcoming environment for anyone to create beautiful ceramic pieces, connect with others and slow down.

  • Our hands-on ceramic workshops are designed to immerse you in the therapeutic art of handbuilding. Depending on the workshops, you will be led through special or time-honored techniques such as pinching, coiling, and slip-and-score, all within a tranquil and supportive environment. We ensure that each participant, regardless of skill level, receives the support needed to create a meaningful piece of art.

  • Whether you’re looking to ground yourself in nature, reignite your creative spark, or forge new, meaningful bonds, Claybodies offers an inviting and nurturing sanctuary for all these explorations.

  • At Claybodies, we believe in the healing power of art. Our workshops serve as a form of art therapy, offering a mindful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Each workshop is a journey into mindfulness, encouraging you to be fully present in the moment. With each pinch, coil, and stroke of clay, you're not just creating art—you're fostering mental well-being, reducing stress, and nurturing your inner peace.

Private Ceramic Workshops

Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, or corporate team-building event, our hands-on pottery workshops offer a unique way to celebrate and bond.

The peaceful atmosphere of working with clay in a natural setting encourages relaxation, fosters creativity, and promotes authentic connections.

Claybodies' workshops not only stimulate artistic expression but also serve as a vehicle for promoting collaboration and mindfulness in the workplace. With tailored projects that enhance communication and creative thinking, your team will leave with a sense of accomplishment and a unique piece of art to commemorate the experience.

  • Birthdays, weddings, bachelorette parties, or just because—every special occasion deserves a unique celebration. Our ceramic workshops add an artistic and mindful dimension to your events, leaving each guest with a handcrafted memento they'll cherish forever.

  • Ignite the spark of creativity in the younger ones with our kid-friendly ceramic workshops. Designed to be both educational and fun, these sessions allow children to get their hands dirty—literally!—as they learn about clay, shapes, and sculpting, all while developing fine motor skills and a love for the arts.

  • Discover the meditative art of pottery in a one-on-one or small group setting tailored to your own pace and creative flow. With personalized guidance, these sessions offer an intimate and focused environment where you can explore the tactile magic of clay, mindful techniques, and artistic self-expression.
