Fairy Garden Workshop

What we offer:

FLEXIBLE, AFFORDABLE CLASSES

We understand that everyone has a different schedule, and they aren’t always consistent.

Like a yoga studio, signing up for a class at Nodd allows you to pick the days and times that work best for you based on our regular weekly schedule. We are also introducing Off-Hours Practice Sessions for those who prefer to work autonomously and outside of a class setting.

KILN FIRING SERVICES

Nodd is one of the only studios in Chicago that offers kiln firing services to independent artists. For artists who create at home, schools that want to provide their students with a ceramics program, and more, Nodd gives you access to that last little spark you need to finish your work.

COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS & OUTREACH:

Nodd holds seasonal workshops open to the entire community! Sometimes themed, sometimes just for fun, the studio opens its doors to offer the community and it’s kiddos a fun, new, creative, and tactile experience!

Nodd also works with organizations to provide therapeutic programs for their clients, including organizations that work with both children and adults with special needs, cultural refugee integration programs for both children and adults, and the Chicago Public School System.
