About the Experience

Have you always wanted to try the potterโ€™s wheel or make your โ€œghost dreamsโ€ come to life in clay? This class is your moment.

Weโ€™ll guide you step by step โ€” from centering the clay to pulling walls and forming your first vessel. Each guest gets personal attention in our limited-capacity studio, so youโ€™ll leave with both a sense of accomplishment and a piece of art you created with your own hands.

This is more than a pottery class โ€” itโ€™s a mindful, playful, and sensory experience where creativity flows, wine warms, and your first wheel-thrown vessel becomes a memory youโ€™ll treasure.

If youโ€™ve ever wanted to try it, this is your sign.

Pieces will be fired and clear glazed at the studio by the team. If you desire to glaze your pieces with fun colors and personalize them further, you can add on below a painting session for Wednesdays after your pieces are bisque fired.

Ceramic Ceremony (Friday, May 22nd ยท 7:00โ€“9:00 PM)
$95.00

Join us at ATELIER Ceramic Studio for Ceramic Ceremony โ€” a monthly wellness-infused ceramic experience designed to slow you down and bring you back to yourself.

No experience required.

๐Ÿ•– Time: 7:00 PMโ€“9:00 PM

๐Ÿ“ Where: ATELIER Ceramic Studio, 753 NE 79 St. #761, Miami, FL 33138

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Limited capacity for an intimate experience

Whatโ€™s Included

โ€ข Welcome herbal teas, wine, and light bites

โ€ข Intention-setting journaling prompts

โ€ข One portion of clay per guest

โ€ข Guided hand-building session

โ€ข Clay, tools, and full studio use

โ€ข Pickup in 2โ€“3 weeks after drying and firing

About the Experience

We begin slowly.

Upon arrival, youโ€™ll settle in with tea or wine as the space fills with soft music and candlelight. Before touching the clay, weโ€™ll guide you through a short grounding meditation to help you arrive fully โ€” physically and mentally.

From there, youโ€™ll move into intention-setting. Youโ€™ll reflect, journal, and choose what youโ€™d like this piece to hold for you โ€” clarity, softness, courage, release.

Then we transition into clay.

Each guest will receive one portion of clay and be guided through accessible hand-building techniques to create a vessel or sculptural form that feels aligned with their intention. This is not about perfection or technical mastery. Itโ€™s about presence.

Your finished piece will remain at the studio to dry slowly and be fired twice. It will be clear-glazed by the ATELIER team to preserve the natural texture and integrity of your work. Pieces will be available for pickup within 2โ€“3 weeks.

Ceramic Ceremony is designed as a monthly reset โ€” a space to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself through material, ritual, and community.

Come alone.

Bring a friend.

Leave grounded.

One Time Pottery Painting Class - Only for previous Participants
$50.00

This one-hour pottery painting session is designed for past workshop participants who want to paint their own ceramic pieces instead of having them clear glazed.

If youโ€™ve taken a class or workshop at Atelier and your piece has already been bisque fired, you can book this session to return to the studio and apply your own glaze colors. This is a relaxed, self-guided painting hour with access to studio glazes and guidance as needed.

Sessions take place on Wednesdays from 6:30โ€“7:30 PM. This service can only be scheduled at least two weeks after your original class, once your bisque-fired piece is ready for glazing.

Youโ€™ll arrive, pick up your bisque-fired piece, paint it using studio glazes, and leave it with us for glaze firing. Once fired, youโ€™ll be notified when your piece is ready for pickup.

Includes studio glazes, tools, glaze firing, and one hour of studio time.

This session is not a handbuilding or wheel class โ€” painting only.

Perfect if you want to add your personal touch and choose your own colors before the final firing.

Little Potters โ€” Weekly Enrollment | A Summer Art & Pottery Camp for Kids ยท Ages 5โ€“9 ยท Miami - SUMMER CAMP EDITIONS
$225.00

Some kids come home from summer camp with a lanyard. Little Potters come home with a bowl they made with their own hands.

Little Potters is a themed weekly art and pottery camp for kids ages 5 to 9 at ATELIER Ceramic Studio in Miami's MiMo district. Three mornings a week, every week has a new theme, a new project, and a new reason to get messy. Kids work with clay, paint, and a rotating mix of hands-on art activities โ€” all in a real working ceramic studio with a real instructor who loves what she does.

No experience needed. Just curiosity, a willingness to get clay on your hands, and a smock.

What a week looks like:

We start the week with clay. Kids get their hands into the material, build something connected to the week's theme, and work on it across the first part of the week โ€” pinching, coiling, rolling slabs, adding texture and details until the piece feels finished and fully theirs.

Midweek we transition into color. Kids paint and decorate their own pieces using underglaze, bringing their clay work to life with color, pattern, and personality.

We close every Friday with a take-home same-day art activity. Canvas painting, watercolor, tote bag decorating, rock painting, and more โ€” something they walk out the door with that day, no kiln required.

Every week is self-contained. Kids can join for one week or come back all summer โ€” each theme is completely different so there is always something new to discover, make, and take home.

What's included every week: โ€” All clay, tools, glazes, and studio materials โ€” Monday, Wednesday, and Friday sessions, 10:00am to 1:00pm โ€” Theme-tied projects across pottery and art โ€” Kiln firing for all clay pieces โ€” Fired pieces ready for pickup 2 to 3 weeks after the session ends โ€” Friday take-home activity โ€” no kiln needed, they leave with it that day

Studio Artists โ€” Weekly Enrollment | A Summer Pottery & Art Camp for Tweens ยท Ages 8โ€“13 ยท Miami - SUMMER CAMP EDITIONS
$235.00

Studio Artists is a themed weekly pottery camp for tweens and older kids ages 8 to 13 at ATELIER Ceramic Studio in Miami's MiMo district. Three afternoons a week, students work with clay at a level that respects their age and their intelligence โ€” building more complex forms, learning real hand-building techniques, and finishing pieces they are genuinely proud of.

Every week has a new theme and a new set of projects. Students who come back week after week build a real body of work across the summer.

What a week looks like:

We start the week with clay. Students build an ambitious hand-building project connected to the week's theme โ€” slab-built forms, coil vessels, sculptural pieces, lidded boxes โ€” techniques that take focus and patience and produce something that looks and feels like it came from a real studio.

Midweek we go deeper. A second clay project tied to the same theme โ€” different technique, different form, building range and confidence. Some weeks this is sgraffito, some weeks relief carving, some weeks a purely sculptural build. The work gets more complex as the summer progresses.

We close the week by bringing color to Monday's piece. Students paint and underglaze their first project of the week, making decisions about palette, pattern, and finish that are entirely their own. On weeks where the clay needs more drying time, Friday shifts into a theme-tied painting activity on canvas or paper โ€” always connected to where we are in the summer.

Every week is self-contained. Students can join for one week or build across the whole summer โ€” each theme is completely different and the projects never repeat.

What's included every week:
โ€” All clay, tools, glazes, and studio materials
โ€” Monday, Wednesday, and Friday sessions, 2:30pm to 5:30pm
โ€” Theme-tied clay projects across three techniques per week
โ€” Kiln firing for all clay pieces
โ€” Fired pieces ready for pickup 2 to 3 weeks after the session ends

Summer 2026 weekly themes:

Week 1 · June 1, 3, 5 · Welcome to the Studio
Week 2 · June 8, 10, 12 · Under the Sea

Select your preferred week at checkout. Students enrolling in multiple weeks can purchase again and select a different week each time.

A note on age placement: Studio Artists is designed for ages 8 to 13. Students on the younger end of that range are placed at instructor discretion based on maturity and creative readiness โ€” not just their birthday. If your child is 8 or 9 and you are not sure which program is the right fit, email us before booking and we will help you decide.

Interested in wheel throwing? Studio Artists is a hand-building program โ€” no wheel throwing. If your tween wants to learn the wheel, our Wheel Throwing Intensive runs Tuesday and Thursday afternoons separately and is available as an add-on or standalone course for ages 10 to 16.

Wheel Throwing Intensive: A 2-Week Ceramics Course for Teens ยท Ages 10โ€“16 ยท SUMMER CAMP EDITIONS
$350.00

Wheel Throwing Intensive is a focused 2-week ceramics course designed for teens ages 10 to 16 who want to learn a real skill โ€” not just make a project. At ATELIER Ceramic Studio in Miami's MiMo district, your teen will learn to center clay, open a form, pull the walls, trim their piece, and apply glaze. From raw clay to a finished, fired bowl or vessel they take home.

What's included in every block:
โ€” 4 throwing sessions (Tuesday + Thursday, 2โ€“4pm) over 2 weeks
โ€” 1 glazing + painting session (the following Thursday)
โ€” All clay, tools, glazes, and studio materials
โ€” Kiln firing โ€” both bisque and glaze fire
โ€” Up to 6 fired and glazed pieces to take home
โ€” Finished pieces ready for pickup approximately 2 weeks after the paint session

How the course works:

Week 1 โ€” Your teen gets on the wheel. We cover centering and opening the clay, the two hardest skills to learn โ€” and the most satisfying to crack. Most students throw their first recognizable form by Thursday.

Week 2 โ€” We refine the form, practice trimming leather-hard pieces, and each student completes their final pieces. By the end of Week 2, every student leaves with a collection of work they're proud of.

Week 3 (Paint Day) โ€” Students return on Thursday to glaze and paint their bisque-fired pieces. This is the payoff session โ€” seeing what they made transformed by color and glaze is genuinely exciting.

After the glaze fire โ€” Finished pieces are ready for pickup approximately 2 weeks after the paint session. We'll email you as soon as they're ready.

A note on this course: The wheel is humbling. It takes patience. Your hands will get covered in clay and not everything will go the way you planned โ€” and that's exactly the point. Teens who take this course leave with more than a ceramic piece. They leave knowing they figured something hard out.

Details at a glance:
โ€” Ages: 10 to 16

A Few Good-to-Knows

No cancellations, but your spot is always transferable โ€” if something comes up, just pass it along to a friend and let us know.

The first 3 sessions are where the magic really starts, so we'd love to have you there from the beginning. Those weeks set the foundation for everything you'll build, and we don't want you to miss them. For anything that comes up in weeks 4 and 5, we'll find a way to fit you in during a Wednesday evening membership session so your pieces stay on track and your collection gets the attention it deserves.

Date Night ยท Private Wheel Throwing Experience ยท Choose your preferred date
$250.00

Better than dinner. More memorable than a movie.

This is a private wheel throwing session for two โ€” an hour and a half of hands-on clay, good music, and the kind of experience you'll actually talk about after. You'll learn the basics of centering and shaping clay on the wheel together, guided by our instructor the whole way through. No experience needed. No pressure. Just you, your person, and a little mud.
