It's dark brown when wet, then transforms in the kiln like magic (or, you know, chemistry — same thing during spooky season). Obsidian clay is notoriously hard to source, which is exactly why seats are limited and why you should stop reading and start booking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll materials, including the precious obsidian clay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert instruction in slabbing and sculpting techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll equipment provided\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiring included — your cat will be ready to haunt your home by the end of the month\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll ages and all abilities welcome.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bring your coven, your coworkers, your mom, your nemesis — we book by seat, so grab one for everyone.

She opened Terracotta Pullman in 2022 so no one else has to go 22 years without touching clay. She's been happily covered in it ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Note: The video shows our workshop from 2024 with Ivanka working with our dark chocolate speckled clay.
