Workshop FAQ’s:

Where do workshops take place? KayHo Ceramics is located in Chicago at 3930 N Elston Ave. All workshops will run at this location unless otherwise noted. These in-person experiences happen in a group setting around our big project table in the center of the studio.

Is it ok if I’ve never taken a clay/ceramics class before? YES! No experience is necessary for any ceramics project workshops or meditation sessions. You can come as you are, and we welcome people of all experience levels and backgrounds.

What are “Meditations with Clay”? Led by Meredith Stockton, LSCW, these sessions focus on mindfulness and use the clay as an “anchor” helping us to tune in to ourselves and use our senses and the clay to help us let go, regulate our feelings, and notice our mindsets. They are open to anyone and especially helpful for those struggling with stress and anxiety.

What should I wear? You will get an email confirmation after completing your booking with info about what to wear, but generally, you can wear what makes you comfortable. Our hand building projects are not usually very messy, but feel free to bring a big t-shirt or apron to wear as a smock if you’re concerned about your outfit (or if you were called “Pig Pen” as a child 😉). *A note on fingernails - long nails can pose challenges when working with clay, so you may want to trim yours before a project workshop, but there are always tools and methods we can employ as workarounds.

How do I get to KayHo Ceramics? We are located at 3930 N Elston . Street parking is usually available on Elston, or local side streets (make sure to check signage). We are also a 2 or 3 min walk from the Irving/Central Park or Irving/Elston #80 Bus stops, 10 min walk from the Addison Blue Line, or 15 min walk from the Irving Park Blue Line and Metra stops.

If you have any further questions, please email us and we’ll respond as soon as possible.

We can’t wait to see you in the studio!
