Workshops & Pop Ups
Here’s where you can learn with Katie or find her small-batch, handbuilt ceramics in the wild. Think goods swept ashore for the modern cave, shaped by Great Lakes geology and slow, lo-fi making.
Katie teaches approachable, lo-fi handbuilding workshops around Metro Detroit. These sessions are beginner-friendly and focus on touch, texture, and simple forms you’ll actually use.
