In this special workshop & crossover class, we will create custom ceramic photo frames! Students are welcome to bring their own photos from home (or polaroid lifts from our prior workshop!) as well as head on over to our friends workshop to take two fresh photo strips!

MC Pressure is three doors down from us and is home to an analog b&w chemistry Photo Booth, one of only 300 left in the world! Class cost includes two photo strips, so this is a GREAT class to take with friends or lovers.

Option at check-out to add on a second week to return for 2 hours and glaze your frames! For the one week only class, you may add some pops of color on the wet clay with underglaze, and choose your bucket dipping glazes which we will take care of for you.

In this special guest class, photographer Zach Sawyer will share tips and tricks to creating successful Polaroid Emulsion lifts on watercolor paper.

Camera, film, and supplies included for attendees to try 5 shots each! Bring items from home for still lifes, try out portraits, or shoot things we have around our studio.

A third of its kind crossover at Make Space, back by popular request- CHEESE & CLAY! Saturday June 7th we will be hand-building ceramic snack boards (& more!) at the studio, with an “intermission” culinary lesson from our friends Bluebird Growers.

Attendees will learn the process behind making a soft labneh-style cheese. We will get to enjoy the freshly made “demo” products for a snack break, and finish up by adding color to our carved boards! Cheese boards will be slow dried and clear glazed, ready to pick up in 2-3 weeks. While some drinks & snacks will be provided, guests are encouraged to bring their favorites to class for inspiration!

Queer as in CLAY CLUB! Join us at the studio for a relaxing evening of pinching and shaping clay with Leda. This class is open to all bodies, identities and experience levels (over 18) but we hope to provide a safe and affirming environment specifically for our local LGBTQIA+ friends. This class is as much about building community as making pottery. Sliding scale pricing for accessibility, with any additional donations sent to to the Queer Trans Project.

Make Space is proud to partner with Compassionate St. Augustine for this Movie Matinee Double Feature. We will start with a showing of the documentary “Occupation of the American Mind” and follow with the Lebanese directed comedy-drama “Where do we go now?”

This is a free community event but you must RSVP as space is limited. Donations will be accepted to be sent directly to a family from South Lebanon, currently displaced and in need of financial assistance for medical support, food, and housing.
