About Ana

Hi, I'm Ana.

I'm Ana López-Santacruz, and I started Clay Santacruz because I wanted to create a space where anyone, regardless of skill, could experience the joy of making something with their hands.

Every session is small by design. That means more personal attention, a more relaxed atmosphere, and a space where you can really explore. No wheel involved, it's all handbuilding, which means pure creative freedom.

Whether you're here for an afternoon or more days, I'll be by your side the whole way. Let's make something.

Questions

Good to know

Not at all! The classes are designed for everyone,from total beginners to experienced artists. Ana guides you through every step, so you'll always know what to do next.
Just yourself! All clay, tools, and materials are provided. Ana also provides snacks and drinks. If you have personal items or mementos you'd like to incorporate into your piece, feel free to bring them.
Pieces go through a drying period, then two firings (bisque and glaze), which takes approximately 2–3 weeks. Ana will send you a message when it's ready to collect at the studio.
Yes! For the Single Session, the piece will stay at the clay color and ana will glaze it with transparent color for a better use. In the 3 days workshop, you'll have the opportunity to customise your pieces fully with glazes and decorations of your own choice.
Classes are held in English. Ana is also a native Spanish speaker and can assist in Spanish throughout the session.
Life happens! Please reach out via email at least 48 hours before your session and Ana will do her best to reschedule you. Get in touch at ana@claysantacruz.com.
