Body Mechanics for Potters Workshop with HanaKyle Moranz
$75 for MoLA members & Good Dirt LA students
$95 general admission
Ages 18+, basic wheel-throwing experience required
Have you ever finished a throwing session with sore wrists, a tight neck, or a back that aches for days? We’ve got a special workshop for you!
Body Mechanics on the Wheel is a 2.5–3 hour interactive workshop led by HanaKyle Moranz. HanaKyle is a NYC-based massage therapist and personal trainer of nearly 20 years and a potter herself. She has led this workshop six times to great reviews, and we’re thrilled to be her first LA stop!
Here is what past participants say:
“My wrists don’t hurt anymore when I wedge!”
“I realized I hold my breath while throwing. It changed everything.”
This is the kind of workshop that changes how you feel at the wheel for good.
Space is limited. 10 students per workshop.
Introduction to Mold Making and Slip Casting with Malika

Join us for this two-part specialty workshop to learn the fundamentals of plaster mold making. Students will create a two-part mold from an original ceramic piece or object while gaining an understanding of plaster mixing and slip casting basics. This is perfect for ceramicists looking to learn how to create duplicates of their work more efficiently.
Participants will keep their mold at the end of the workshop and will have access to a limited amount of B-Mix slip in the studio.
- This workshop focuses on simple, small to medium forms and is not intended for complex, multi-part molds.
-All materials for creating the mold are included. Students can also special-order a gallon of slip through the studio after the workshop.
- Students must bring one original simple pot, which must be approved by Malika prior to August 22nd.
- Disclaimer: Please note that original forms may be compromised during the mold-making process.
