dinner drama

ceramics workshop

Meret Oppenheim - Bees Knees

Throughout history, the dining table has served as a space of profound expression, where rituals and ceremonies unfold like scenes from a play: from candlelit dramas to shared laughter and whispered confessions, the dining experience has always teetered between the familiar and the fantastical.

In this workshop, you’ll create ceramics under candlelight, channeling the enchanting spirit that captivates either intimate gatherings or grand royal dinners, where anything is possible.

Salvador Dalí’s cookbook: Les dîners de Gala

Imagine goblets fit for toasts to wild dreams, plates with visions of surreal feasts, candelabras that summon a hint of mystery to the room, or incense holders perfect for a… mild revenge ritual.

I invite you to craft bold, otherworldly tableware to bring a touch of drama, magic, and mystery to your winter gatherings. 

The Old Maids by Leonora Carrington (1947)

So… ready to set the table? Arrange the chairs, get out the ginger shots—or go wild and get a little lit on Fernet Branca—because at your next dinner, you’ll be giving your guests a glimpse of something unforgettable. 

James Ensor, Comical Repast (Banquet of the Starved), ca. 1917–18
