Spirit Vessel Workshop

January 10 and 17, 2026

Studio Emaho!
Soquel, CA

I’m super excited to offer a workshop on my Spirit Vessel process. I’ve been making these little soulful sculptures for a little over ten years, and each one is an opportunity for me to have a quite inward conversation. I also get to play with clay, how often do we really play?

Join me and a small circle of curious spirits for two full Saturdays of clay and quiet discovery. Together we’ll explore the expressive qualities of clay and the surprising ways it can carry the whispers of your inner voice.

Each day begins at 10 am with space to ground, breathe, and listen inward. From there, we’ll move between hands-on clay work, guided reflections, and moments of silence that invite what wants to be heard. You’ll learn to shape your own vessel form, creating a personal container for the seeds of this season in your life. Along the way, we’ll experiment with scraps, sketchbooks, and side projects that remind us: what we pay attention to grows.

There will be time for sharing, time for snacks and tea, and time to simply follow the rhythm of making. You’ll bring your own lunch, and I’ll provide light vegetarian snacks and hydrating drinks.

On the second Saturday, we’ll return to our vessels to decorate and deepen them, guided again by meditation, journal prompts, and the quiet conversation between hands, clay, and spirit. After the workshop, the vessels will be kiln-fired again to complete the process. Finished pieces will be ready for pickup about a week later, so you’ll leave with the memory of the process and return for the tangible reminder of your journey.

This is an intimate offering, limited to 6 participants, with a minimum of 3 for the workshop to run. It’s offered at a self-reporting sliding-scale rate of $250-$350 per participant.
