Instructor
Christian Anayas is a Los Angeles-based artist, ceramicist, and chef whose work is rooted in material histories, labor, and shared ritual. Trained as a production potter, and influenced by post-war studio pottery traditions like the collaboration of Hamada & Leach, Anayas creates vessels that are not just functional, but relational—designed to hold food, fermentations, and the intimate acts of serving and gathering.
Bridging the potter’s studio and the kitchen, Anayas reimagines these spaces as sites of transformation, where raw materials —clay, grain, fire, and time — become objects, meals, and moments of connection. Whether through hand-thrown ceramics, immersive dining experiences, or culinary storytelling, Anayas crafts work that invites participation, play, and a deeper understanding of how making, eating, and hosting shape our lives.
This is a practice of care, curiosity, and shared histories — an invitation to the table, the studio, and the fire.

Sliding Scale Pricing
Sliding scale pricing is a tool for social equity, designed to make ceramics education accessible and affordable.
When signing up for a workshop, please choose the pricing tier that feels right for your current finances. This is a trust-based system, and only you know what’s comfortable and possible for you.
The high end of the scale reflects the true cost of the workshop. If you’re able to pay this, it helps subsidize others and makes our offerings more affordable.
There are limited spaces per tier to ensure balance and coverage of workshop costs. If a tier is sold out, it means all spots have been filled. An interest-free payment plan is available, allowing you to split the cost over time.
We strive to make our workshops accessible and continually improve our pricing system. If you have any questions or suggestions, please reach out!
