Coastal Mudworks

In this 2-hour workshop, get creative with clay as you design and build a fruit bowl statement piece. Students will begin by constructing a large slab bowl, then personalize it by cutting out fun shapes and patterns using freehand techniques or a variety of cookie cutters. Whether you love bold designs, nature-inspired motifs, or geometric patterns, your bowl will be completely one of a kind. Once your masterpiece is finished, choose your glaze color and we'll professionally glaze and fire it for a beautiful, food-safe finish. No experience is needed, beginners are all welcome! Your finished piece will be ready for pickup 3 weeks after the event. Ages 18+. Register online.

Rustic-chic private farm venue in scenic Stonington, CT 

Deans Mill Farm 

Built in the mid-1700s as a functioning livestock farm, Deans Mill Farm has gone through an evolution in recent decades. A full renovation of the historic buildings and rejuvenation of the surrounding 70+ acres has made the property into the incredible venue it is today. Deans Mill Farm now operates primarily as a private event space and five-room bed and breakfast tucked down a private road in Stonington, Connecticut. It shares its property with Dragonfly Equestrian Center and is home to dozens of horses. On the property lies meadows, hiking trails, beautiful fields and Dragonfly Disc Golf. The property can be rented for weddings, birthday parties and other special events. Additionally, the bed and breakfast can be rented by the room or reserved in its entirety for complete privacy. The Farm has the ability to host small private indoor events for up to 50 guests in the Farmhouse. Outdoor tented events are our specialty, with numerous locations on-site that are picturesque for your celebration. Outdoor tented celebrations can accommodate up to 250 guests.
