Recap: A Full & Creative November at ARTime BARRO + A Peek at What’s Coming in December!
November at ARTime Barro was all about slowing down, gathering in community, and finding small moments of beauty in the clay. As the studio filled with the hum of the wheel, the warmth of handbuilt forms, and the glow of our seasonal workshops, we were reminded—again—why this space feels so special. Here’s a look back at a month that invited creativity, presence, and connection, and a peek at what’s coming next as we move into December.
November in the Studio: A Month of Creativity & Community
From our Kintsugi workshops to our handbuilding ornament and charcuterie board sessions and Sound Bath collab with The Sound Fairy, Indira, November was a celebration of craft rooted in intention. Students explored clay through both wheel and handbuilding methods, shaping pieces that were personal, expressive, and deeply grounded in the moment. Our studio also came alive with the Thanksgiving season—full classes, returning students, and the cozy energy that always accompanies fall at ARTime Barro.
Whether you joined us for a one-night workshop, a weekly class, or quietly shaped your own ritual mug for winter, the heart of the month was the same: slowing down and letting your hands lead.
