Are you looking for a fun activity with your family or friends containing a philanthropic ingredient?
Join us as one of House of Shine’s enthusiastic instructors guide you in creating your own pottery pinch pots.
BONUS – This activity will become an opportunity to support our community. Your creatively-designed pinch pots will become the vessel that collects change that you ultimately donate to a “changemaker” who has an idea to improve our community. Ideas will be shared at the Change Bowl community event on April 4, 2026. (Think Shark Tank meets community improvement projects. Local students (ages 8-18) will submit applications and ultimately, pitch ideas for improving our community, and community members will serve as judges who will select the top community service projects.)
This workshop requires additional time for firing and glazing. You can pick up your creation 3 weeks later at the House of Shine or you can pass your creation forward and leave with a finished pinch pot made by a previous attendee.

Now is the time to discover your SHINE – the Strengths, Hobbies, Interests & Irritants, Needs and Experiences that make each of us unique!
House of Shine is a leadership development nonprofit with a mission to strengthen communities by growing confident, self-aware and resilient leaders who are equipped with a deep understanding of themselves and why their contributions to the world matter.

Just a reminder:
S = Strengths, H= Hobbies, I= Interests & Irritants, and N= Needs and E= Experiences.
Although we teach people how to discover their SHINE when they visit our museum, this workshop will get you to roll up your sleeves and do the work necessary to really dig in and discover your SHINE.
Dr. Claudia Beeny, founder and creator of the What’s Your Shine? curriculum and author of What’s Your Shine? A Method for Discovering Who You Are and Why It Matters, created this ground-breaking workshop.
What’s Your Shine? – Part 1 is the first of a 3-Part Series of discovering your SHINE (we recommend you attend all THREE sessions so you don’t miss a thing). Note: Part 1 & 2 are prerequisites for Part 3.
