Clay Luminaria Workshop

Where sculpted light meets winter warmth.

Join us for an intimate, hands-on evening at ARTime BARRO Santa Monica, where you’ll create your own ceramic luminaria, a sculptural tealight sconce designed to cast a soft, ambient glow. Inspired by the charm and culture of latino designs, this workshop invites you to explore form, texture, and shadow through the cozy craft of slab building.

Under the guidance of Spencer, you’ll shape and assemble your luminaria using flat clay slabs, then personalize it with carved textures, cut-outs, and light openings that create a warm, inviting glow once illuminated. Whether your style is minimalist, whimsical, organic, or geometric, your piece becomes a unique expression of your creativity and design eye.

After crafting your luminaria, your work will remain in the studio to be dip-glazed and kiln-fired by our team. Finished pieces will be ready for pickup 4 weeks after the workshop.

Note: tealight candles are not provided.
