Discover the intersection of ancient materials and modern wellness in this hands-on terracotta workshop. Terracotta is prized for its natural porosity, making it the perfect organic medium for a "passive" oil diffuser. In this session, you will learn to work with air-dry terracotta clay to design and sculpt a series of diffusers that naturally absorb and slowly release your favorite essential oils. Whether you want to create hanging car diffusers, desk ornaments, or closet refreshers, this class provides the technical foundation to turn raw clay into functional, aromatic art.

What you'll do

Tactile Preparation

The host leads a grounding "wedging" exercise to prime the clay. This step focuses on the earth’s texture to eliminate air pockets while centering your focus for the craft ahead.

Slab & Shape

Learn the technical process of rolling uniform slabs. The host guides you through intentional cutting and shaping, encouraging a rhythmic, "flow-state" approach to design.

Pattern Imprinting

Use specialized tools to deboss textures into the surface. This phase serves as an active meditation, focusing on the sensory feedback of the stamps against the cooling clay.

Refinement & Curing

The host demonstrates edge-smoothing and finishing techniques. We conclude with technical instructions on the 24-hour drying cycle and how to "season" the porous clay with oils.
