June: Eight Person Private Party Handbuilding with DeNai Jones, $125 per person

Private 8 Person Group Handbuilding Workshop DeNai Jones hosts private parties for up to eight guests in her working studio and gallery—a tranquil, inspiring space ideal for celebrating a small group through the hands-on experience of working with clay. After securing your event, I will work with you directly to select a date and time that suits your group, as well as the type of piece you’d like to create together. This experience is perfect for small-business team building, creative celebrations, or meaningful gatherings with friends and family. Handbuilding takes place around the large communal workshop table and may include slab work, pinch pots, or a small sculptural form. I will coordinate with the host in advance to determine the creative direction that best suits your group. Examples that are shown are not limited to, but can give some ideas for your group to choose from one option: 3 mini bud vases, 2 candlestick holders, 3 mini dip bowls, or a free form charcuterie tray, or any other idea you hope to create. The workshop fee includes all materials, guided instruction, and post-workshop glazing and firing, completed by DeNai. Finished pieces will be ready for pick-up approximately 2–3 weeks after your celebration, and I will contact guests individually when their work is ready. Guests are welcome to bring their own snacks and sips to enjoy during the workshop. Minimum age requirement: 12 years old. DeNai Jones Ceramics is located at 365 E Santa Clara Street in historic downtown Ventura.
