Pottery Class

✅ Before you go
• Silken Ceramics offers several different classes, which you can view and sign up for here: https://silkenceramics.com/pages/classes
• As an overview, the “Day of Clay” teaches you how to center clay, create a cylinder, and form it into a cup or bowl. 
• You can pick up your finished work 2-3 weeks after the class.
• There is lots of street parking around the studio — my friend and I had zero issues finding a spot. 
• You don’t need to have any experience prior to taking the course! The instructor will walk you through the whole process.

💪 Pro tips
• Working with clay gets messy! Make sure to wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.
• Don’t be afraid to ask the instructors questions — that’s what they are there for! 
• Did you have fun? Consider getting a membership so you can continue practicing your new skill!
• This class is great to do on your own or with a group of friends — I saved the class for a rainy day!

Head over to Silken Ceramics! 

It's been a while since I've taken one and I thought

it would be a great way to spend my afternoon.

So I headed over to Silken Ceramics to take their day of clay class,

Day of Clay is a really great way to try out

the pottery wheel without committing to an eight week course.

the instructor then took us over to the wheel

where she showed us how to prep our space,

it was then my turn to try out for myself.

And even though I've taken a couple of ceramics classes in my life,

But that's OK because the instructors were there

to help me every step of the way and answer any questions I had.

My friend decided to make a plate for her cat and I ended up with

this cup that I'm so excited about because I think it turned out really well.

and then I was faced with the hard decision of which piece I wanted to keep,

My friend and I had so much fun doing this,

and we can't wait to see how our pieces turned out when we picked them up.

Grab your swimsuits and your girlfriends,

and facility that offers different types of rest,

the people at the front desk go over the rules with you,

the main one being that silence is golden and no phones are allowed.

Showers and locker room are truly so beautiful.

They also ask that before you use any of the facilities,

There are 3 pools you get to play around in a hot pool,

My friend Nikki and I both tried out the cold plunge pool,

which took an insane amount of breath work and of course she dunked her head under,

which then meant that I had to dunk my head under the pool.

It was so cold I literally ran out of there.

I knew I wanted to spend time in one of the saunas and luckily they have 3 options.

so much time just breathing great eucalyptus air.

Since Nikki and I were the only ones there,

we spent the majority of the time yapping,

and massages that you can add on on top of exploring the pools and the sauna.

After about an hour of relaxing in the pools,

we got back into our robes and headed to the relaxation room.

It has a bunch of cute couches you can sit at,

This was a really nice way to end our day,

I would definitely come back here and I hope you do too.
