There’s something magical about sitting down with a lump of clay and watching it transform beneath your hands. At Restalgic, we believe pottery isn’t just about making objects — it’s about creating moments, connections, and memories. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our Clay Workshop at Restalgic – $60, led by our very own Nathan Johnson, owner of Restalgic.

What to Expect in the Workshop
This workshop is designed for everyone — whether you’re brand new to clay or you’ve dabbled with ceramics before. Nathan brings an approachable, creative teaching style that makes the process fun, relaxed, and inspiring.
You’ll have the opportunity to try two different ways of creating:
Hand-Building – Explore slabs of clay to design and build something that reflects your unique style. Add texture, carve, or decorate in a way that feels like you.
Wheel-Throwing – Experience the rhythm of the pottery wheel as you learn fundamentals like centering, shaping, and pulling walls. By the end of the session, you’ll have two original creations that are truly yours.
After the Workshop
Every participant will complete at least one project that will be carefully bisque fired in our kilns. Once your work is ready, you’ll receive an email letting you know it’s time to return for the glazing stage — where you’ll bring your piece to life with color and finish.
This session is less about perfection and more about expression. Come ready to laugh, learn, and leave with a piece of Restalgic in your hands.
More Than Just a Workshop
What makes this experience even more special is that it’s just one part of what we’re building here at Restalgic.
