Build a clay pipe in a basement studio. Two sessions, two hours each.

Pipe Camp is a two-session workshop where you hand-build a clay pipe from scratch. Two hours to shape it, then come back next week for two hours to finish it.
Small group. Real studio. No experience necessary. You leave with a pipe you made yourself.
