CREATE YOUR "CASITA"
The Heritage Casita Workshop
A Ceramic Journey into Puerto Rican Architecture
INSTRUCTOR: MARCELA ZEGRI
Join us for an exclusive, elevated ceramic experience. Moving beyond the basics, this workshop invites you to explore slab-building architecture. Inspired by the soft tones, iconic balconies, and tropical charm of our island’s housing, you will learn to construct a detailed miniature "Casita" from scratch.
This is more than a pottery class; it is an architectural study in clay. You will work with custom templates to ensure structural integrity while focusing on the Puertorrican casitas.
Choose Your Experience
Option 1: The Sculpture Build, MARCH 7 - 11 AM
Price: $150 Perfect for those who enjoy the process of hand-building and want a creative project to finish at their own pace.
Includes: All materials, professional instruction, and custom templates.
The Process: We will build the structure together during the session. After the workshop, your piece will be fired in our kiln to "Bisque."
Finishing: Once fired, you will pick up your white ceramic house and finish it at home using acrylic paints. This allows you total control over the vibrant or pastel colors of your casita!
Includes 1 kiln firing.
Option 2: The Full Ceramic Masterpiece, MARCH 7 and 21, 11 AM
Price: $185
Includes: All materials, professional instruction, and custom templates.
The Process: We build the structure in the first session.
Finishing: Your piece will be fired twice. You will return for a specialized glazing session (or choose your colors for the instructor to glaze) using our curated palette of soft rose, sage, beige, and sea-foam blue.
The Result: A fully vitrified, waterproof, and professionally glazed art piece with a timeless "stucco" finish.
Includes 2 kiln firings and all ceramic glazes.
What You’ll Learn:
Precise Slab Construction: How to join 90-degree angles for a sturdy structure.
Architectural Detailing: Creating balconies and "Miami-style" textures without the complexity of traditional bars (rejas).
Surface Design: Mimicking the weathered but beautiful facades of Puerto Rico.Workshop Policies & Re-scheduling
