2 Magnetic Planters Handbuilding & Painting Workshop – Richmond Studio, Toronto
Get creative and design something small, stylish, and totally functional in our 2 Magnetic Planters Handbuilding & Painting Workshop at our Richmond Studio in downtown Toronto.
In this beginner-friendly pottery class, you’ll handbuild two custom ceramic magnetic planters designed to stick to your fridge or any magnetic surface. Perfect for mini succulents, air plants, herbs, or dried florals, these planters add a modern handmade touch to your home or workspace.
Using slab-building techniques, you’ll shape and construct your planters from clay, learning how to properly attach and reinforce the magnetic backing for strength and durability.
