A calendar of creativity.
Exhibitions, workshops, and open studios where process meets performance, and creativity unfolds in community.
Where Earth Meets Art
Clay carries the memory of touch. At Banyan Hearts, the Ceramics Studio continues this timeless conversation between hand and earth. Here, potters and artists come together to explore form, texture, and fire — keeping craft alive through process, patience, and play.
Led by artist Chippa Sudhakar, the studio offers open access for independent potters and hosts periodic workshops that invite anyone to experience the quiet rhythm of clay.
