ShanghaiPRIDE

ShanghaiPRIDE presents an ARTernative to the bar. We have found a cozy little studio for making adorable clay figurines, which is a perfect place to let your creative side run wild for an evening. Come with your friends to work in a small group, or if you register alone, we can pair you with another small group. Beverages such as wine, coffee, and tea will be served to help your creative juices flow. An instructor is available to help you with direction. Diagrams are able to help you with design. So… no prior experience is necessary. Come just to have fun and relax. “It’s OK to be Clay!”
