Seasonal Shifts in the San Francisco Pottery Studio
Summer Solstice - Saturday, June 20th , 2026
We are officially entering the month that brings us Summer.
Good bye to Spring, hello to the Sunny Sun.
How does this season make you feel?
We are also FINALLY really stepping into a new era of understanding our stance in the pottery world.
We are here not to offer pottery classes, workshops and studio membership but to really share what it is like to step into a direct relationship with clay as a ritual.
Clay as a practice.
Clay as a form to honor ourselves and our planet Earth.
This brings us to a moment of PAUSE.
A moment to connect to the natural events around us .
An invitation to create and notice the natural cycles.
How do natural rhythms play into our creation process?

Happy Summer Solstice.
See you in the studio soon.
