The Future of Teaching Others
Our predecessor Waavy Studio set the blueprint in our beautiful space for teaching others and finding joy despite everyday challenges — and in that fashion, we try to embody the communal spirit that she brought to our beautiful bungalow before she departed across the pond to Spain.
We toyed with the idea of teaching classes again, and many former students of Waavy Studio asked us on multiple occasions if we’d open up again to the public. We’d love to do that once we’re accustomed to it ourselves (as we are mostly novices and even newer to teaching!).
That’s why it was so exciting to have our first class this past weekend with a dear friend of ours and her mother. We set the stage, intentions, and good vibes for a beautiful evening of clay crafting.

By the end of it, we had several beautiful pieces. At once point, both of their pieces flew off the wheel and smacked together in the middle. I wasn’t there to witness it, but Sara showed me how they decided to mesh together the two smushed pieces into an adorable puzzle-piece sculpture.
Community is all that we have in times of darkness. It’s during these moments that we lean on each other and create our own light on gloomy days. Glow on, fireflies! — in true “swaamp” fashion, we have to shine our lights and connect in our beautiful constellation of community.
