Handbuilding: Weekend Ritual Set (3 week course)

Handbuilding: Weekend Ritual Set with Jess

Thursdays 6:00–8:30 PM | All Levels

A relaxed, design-focused handbuilding class centered around creating your own ritual set for slow mornings and weekend moments.

This class is about the objects we return to—cups for coffee, matcha, tea, or juice, and the pieces that support those rituals. Through guided making and simple design principles, you’ll create a cohesive set that feels personal, functional, and considered.

Over the course of the class, you’ll explore handbuilding techniques to build a set tailored to your own routine—whether that’s a tea set with a small pot, cups with a matching pitcher, or a pour-over setup for coffee. The focus is on how objects relate to each other in scale, proportion, and use.

What You’ll Make

  • A tea set with cups and a small pot
