All of our multi-week courses from now until the end of the year are open for booking! (Well, almost all of them- one is still under wraps, more on that below 👀)

Whatever brings you in, fall is a great time to slow down a little and explore a new cozy hobby. 🍂There’s something genuinely restorative about working with clay- it’s tactile, it’s slow, and it asks you to focus on just one thing with your hands for a little while. In a season that can get busy fast, a weekly class is a built-in reason to unplug, get a little messy, and come away with some cool pieces you’ve made yourself. It’s also a nice excuse to carve out a standing weekly hangout, whether solo or with a friend.

Swipe through to see all upcoming courses. ➡️We have 6 & 8 week sessions available, plus one 8 week alumni course for anyone who has previously taken a multi-week class at Kilnfolk.

And that course we mentioned? 🎁We’re launching a November 4-week class focused on creating holiday gifts- keep an eye out for booking to open soon!

Okay, we are SO overdue on this, but we have new faces in the Kilnfolk fam and we’re so excited to introduce them! 🎉

Say hi to Savanah! 🎨 A multimedia artist who fell for Clay 3 years ago and never looked back. She blends wheel-thrown and hand built techniques into pieces that live in that beautiful space between functional & ethereal.

Savanah isn’t afraid to chase new glaze combos, experiment with playful attachments, or embrace the happy unpredictability of clay. Inspired by the magic in everyday life, she’s on a mission to help you find a little awe in the ordinary (we think this is a big reason why she’s such an amazing instructor!).

When she’s not in the studio, she’s most likely traveling, out in nature, and thrifting vintage finds.
