Join us for an art-making workshop!
Looking to schedule a one-time workshop at the Berkeley Art Studio for you and your friends or colleagues? Host your next team building or birthday party right here at the art studio! We offer 2-hour painting, ceramics, and screen printing, and craft activities for small groups of 14 people or less.
Ceramics Workshop
The 2 hour activity includes a full demonstration by our instructor on how to hand-build your own cup from slabs of clay and then plenty of time to make your own ceramic piece. It’s a fun, relaxing workshop that’s also great for beginners!
- Duration: 2 hours
- Maximum # of participants: 14
- UCB Group Affiliated Price: $400 flat fee
- Non-UCB Affiliated Price: $500 flat fee, and an additional $50/person over a group of 10.
Additional notes:
- Because we want you to take home a fully finished piece of artwork, the ceramics will need to be fired twice and glazed by our technicians. This process can take 4-6 weeks.
Screenprinting Workshop
The 2 hour workshop includes a complete tutorial of how the print-making process works, then you and your party will get to screen print your own posters & tote bags. Send us an image of what you would like to print and then print your own custom piece!
