Ikebana Vase – Slow Pottery Workshop

🌸 Ikebana Vase – Slow Pottery Workshop

Color Cocktail Factory | Eugene

Step into a slower pace of making in our Ikebana Vase Pottery Workshop, a calm, design-focused class inspired by the Japanese art of ikebana—where balance, intention, and negative space take center stage.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll hand-build a low ceramic ikebana vessel designed to showcase flowers with simplicity and grace. Rather than focusing on perfection or technique-heavy pottery, this class invites you to slow down and thoughtfully shape both the clay and the space around it.

No pottery experience is required.
