Private Handbuilding Ceramic Lessons at Tracy Hollister’s Private Santa Fe Studio

Immerse yourself in Santa Fe’s vibrant arts culture with a private, hands-on clay experience led in the private studio of Tracy Hollister.

Held in her private artist’s studio, these two-hour sessions can hold up to four guests and invite you to explore the timeless art of handbuilding with clay.

Guided step by step, you’ll learn techniques such as coiling, slab work, or sculptural building—methods used by ceramic artists for centuries. Each guest will create a unique piece and select from a curated palette of glazes to finish their work. After the session, Tracy will carefully fire and ship your piece to you, leaving you with a lasting memento of your Santa Fe experience to display in your own home.
