Ceramics in the Garden

A hands-on ceramics workshop led by Miami artist Erica Lores invites participants to create functional plant pots at Miami Beach Botanical Garden. Using stoneware clay, guests of all skill levels will learn foundational hand-building techniques and have the opportunity to paint and decorate their pieces before they are glazed and kiln-fired.

All materials are provided, and each participant will receive one finished piece, available for pickup approximately 4–5 weeks after the session. Children under 6 are welcome to participate with a parent or guardian.

Erica Lores is the founder of Maracuyá Studio, where she hosts ceramic classes that encourage creative expression and grounding through mindful, tactile engagement with clay. Her practice draws inspiration from nature and centers on accessible, community-driven experiences.

This event takes place Saturday, July 12 in the Butterfly Gallery.
