Stefanie’s ceramics workshop in Ridgewood is a true hidden gem for anyone craving a hands-on, creative escape. Just off the M train, her studio is filled with inspiring artwork and has that authentic, artistic Queens vibe you can’t fake.
The experience is super fun. You get plenty of clay, all the guidance you need, and lots of room to explore your own ideas. Stefanie is not only a talented artist but also a generous and encouraging teacher. While the postcard project is perfect for visitors, locals should definitely check it out, bc she’s open to helping you craft something more personal and even a bit bigger if you're from the area (won't break on a plane!)
Whether you're new to clay or just looking to reconnect with your creative side or inner child, this experience is authentically underground and unique to NYC. Highly recommended for locals and tourists alike!
