2021 Classes
BareHands Artisans weekly series of classes (courses) run anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 weeks. Most class sets (or courses) will have an opportunity to continue to the next set. This allows the student to dive into a subject matter deeply and come out with lasting skill sets and results.
We are trusting each person who registers for our Classes and Workshops that you have been symptom free and have not tested positive for or been exposed to Covid-19. No make-up or refunds on Classes/Workshops.
On December 30, 2021, BareHands Artisans will be closing our Belmar, NJ storefront/“Gather & Create” Studio location. The BHA Brand will be making a shift of focus away from Classes/Workshops (the in-person continued education aspect of the present studio) towards solely the making of Art.
We will be moving to a new studio space in 2022 that will support this natural progression of BareHands Pottery. Our New location will be streamlined for production to be available in the future as batch releases exclusively online, as well as online Custom Orders & Wholesale offerings of our handmade BareHands Pottery. We will be forever grateful for your energy, understanding, and continuing support of this next phase.
Important to note (without writing a novel)* Your passion and dedication as a collective Art community has been humbling and beautiful.
~ the simple connection of loving clay is a wonderful commonality and I am a better Artist for my experience with you. ~
In the meantime, our Belmar doors and website remain OPEN throughout December, featuring BHA Pottery + curated handmade products that we LOVE.
It brings me such joy that these handmade items are loved and appreciated and utilized in your homes :)
Please stay tuned for future announcements and sales during the holiday season before we close our doors... stick with us on social media as our next studio venture progresses for we hope to be taking you along with us.
With love and gratitude,
