Mark Your Calendar: The Claycation That Changes Everything

It started with clay-covered hands, a spark of an idea, and a belief that creativity is better when it’s shared.

When I hosted the very first Claycation, I didn’t know if anyone would show up. I just knew I wanted to create a space where people could slow down, get their hands in the earth, and connect—both with themselves and with others. What happened next was beyond anything I could have imagined.

Weekend after weekend, people came. They sat at the wheel, laughed until their cheeks hurt, shared stories over coffee, and walked away with something more than pottery—they left with memories, new friends, and a piece of themselves they’d almost forgotten.

Now, we’re turning the page to a brand-new chapter.

The electrical is ready

The New School House

The electrical is officially ready, and I am too! The new School House will soon be home to Claycations—bigger, brighter, and more inspiring than ever before. This building is more than just four walls; it’s a space designed for creativity, connection, and those moments where time seems to slow down.

To launch the School House, I’m opening the doors with something special:

• September 26th weekend still has 4 spots open—and trust me, this is the weekend to come. You’ll spend two days surrounded by creativity and community, and who knows… you just might meet your new best friend.

• Book your spot during the month of September for any available date with a deposit  and you’ll be part of our launch celebration—going home with a brand-new Freba Pottery T-shirt as a keepsake from this first-ever School House Claycation.

• Dates for 2026 are now live—yes, we’re already planning that far ahead! If you’ve ever dreamed of joining us, now’s your chance to secure your weekend.

  
  

Why Claycation Is More Than Pottery

People often ask me why I do this. Why spend so much time covered in clay, why host strangers for the weekend, why put my whole heart into these retreats?

The answer is simple: because it’s not just pottery.

It’s watching someone walk in feeling nervous and leave feeling like they’ve found a second home. It’s seeing friendships form over shared laughter at the wheel. It’s knowing that long after the weekend ends, the pieces you’ve created still hold the memory of the hands that shaped them.

And now, with the new School House, there’s even more room for those moments to happen.

✨ Your seat is waiting. Whether you’ve been to Claycation before or you’ve been watching from afar, now’s the time. The clay is ready, the space is ready… all that’s missing is you.
