Join us for Clay and Bubbles at Next Door at Granada Hotel and Bistro! You will learn how to make a Ceramic Bud Vase while sipping on a glass or two of bubbles ! Adriana Lemus and Chad Franco from Night Owl Pottery will guide you through this 2-hour intro to clay workshop. ***6 spaces available***
The $80 fee includes white stoneware clay , all materials to use during the workshop, instruction by experienced ceramic artists, and a glass of bubbles (for 21+)! Once your bud vase is created, you will leave it with the instructors where they will take it back to their studio in San Luis Obispo to be fired, glazed (painted), and fired a second time. This process takes about 4-5 weeks. When complete, the vases will be brought back to Next Door to be picked up!
Night Owl Pottery is a combination and collaboration of ceramic work by artist Adriana Lemus and natural builder Chad Franco. They create almost all of their pottery at night—thus, Night Owl Pottery. Both artists are from the Central Coast and come from artist families. Adriana Lemus studied art at UC Berkeley and has been showing her work on the Central Coast and in the Bay area for the past five years. Chad Franco studied natural building and permaculture design in Santa Cruz, Texas, and Portugal, this led to organizing his own workshops and commission work within the community. Both artists sell their work at local Makers Markets, online, and are currently working on commission work for restaurants, hotels, spas, and homes.
Granada Hotel and Bistro is a historic 17 room boutique hotel in Downtown San Luis Obispo. Granada is conveniently located within walking distance of downtown shops and restaurants, Cerro San Luis Obispo Mountain, and San Luis Obispo wine country. The workshop will be located “next door” to the bistro. Food and beverages will be available for purchase throughout the workshop.
Due to limited seating, we have a strict 24-hour cancellation policy to reschedule or receive a refund. This will allow us to offer your spot to another guest. However, if you are sick or experiencing any flu like symptoms, we ask that you stay home and reschedule for a future workshop. Thank you for understanding.
