Steve’s Backhouse

The backhouse is turning 1 and you’re invited to the birthday party! Join us on Saturday, May 23rd from 11-4pm to shop dirt cheap ceramics, tattoo your own magnets, and snag a free tote bag. All that plus… Coffee & matcha from @itshausmade Ceramics (and custom corn dogs!) by @maddiecakesceramics Baked goods by Bakehouse And art by @isabellapstoakes If you’ve been to the backhouse at any point this past year, I’d love to see you so I can thank you for making this goofy experiment work. Or if you’ve still never been here, this is the time. And if you’re a friend of mine who I haven’t seen in a minute because I’ve worked here 7 days a week for a year, I’d especially love to see you too. 4866 Clinton St Los Angeles CA 90004

Yall went and sold out this month’s workshops so fast that we’re dropping the June calendar extra early! Here’s everything you can grab tickets to right now: June 13th - We’re adding a new twist to the cyanotype workshop you know and love. For one day only, @wrinklestudio will teach you how to cyanotype on matchboxes, and the results are cute as hell. June 18th - Grab a friend, slide into the dive bar photobooth nearest you, then come tattoo the perfect ceramic frame for your photos with me, @stvstrngr . June 20th - Learn the art of floral design with @senescencela and leave with a beautiful arrangement to brighten your home. June 25th - Tattoo a mug. We do it every month and yet somehow your mugs keep getting more impressive every time. June 27th - And finally, @wrinklestudio is closing out the month with her standard cyanotype workshop. Come make some magic. Tickets at the link in bio. See you in the backhouse :)

Lately(ish) in the backhouse. Thank you to everyone who’s visited for keeping the lights on, to @takearecess for keeping me very well hydrated, and @pfcandleco for keeping the incense burning.

New workshop added 👹🔥

U know the deal- link in bio :-)

This May we’re celebrating the first birthday of Steve’s Backhouse! Here’s all the ways you can party with us: May 2nd - @maddiecakesceramics returns to teach you the basics of handbuilding as you make your very own croissant-shaped incense holder. Not a birthday cake, but close enough. May 7th - The backhouse still isn’t old enough to get a tattoo, so we’ll just keep tattooing mugs. Tap into artistic abilities you never knew you had as you try out @stvstrngr ’s signature technique of decorating pottery. May 9th - Join ray of sunshine @wrinkleceramics for a 2-hour workshop where you’ll learn how to use other rays of sunshine to create stunning cyanotype prints. May 14th - If mugs aren’t your thing, maybe you tattoo a vase instead? May 23rd - Finally, we’re closing out the month with a big old Birthday Market. Join us for coffee and food from your favorite vendors, handmade goods from your favorite makers, and some special bday surprises in the store. And as always, you can visit us to shop @stvstrngr ’s ceramics irl Thursdays-Sundays from 12-5pm. Workshop tickets available now. Hope to see you soon.

It’s pretty fun …..

Another month of making things is in the books. Think we might do it again this month. Don’t let the good life pass you by.

Thank you to everyone who visited the backhouse this Saturday for a sold out workshop of tattooing to-go mugs with @stvstrngr ! Can’t wait to see these in all their glazed glory. Matcha bowls and mugs are up next. Grab your tickets now and we’ll see you there.

It’s picnic season at the backhouse again! Join us March 29th from 11-4pm for a Sunday Picnic where you’ll find...

Just walk in anytime 11-4pm and pay per magnet (details on second slide). See you there!!

The days are getting longer, the temps are climbing, and suddenly you’re feeling the urge to do get out of your apartment and do something creative. We can help with that. Here’s every workshop on the April calendar: 4/4 - Make your own cyanotype prints with @wrinkleceramics and hang them on your wall the very same day 4/9 - Tattoo a matcha bowl with me, @stvstrngr , and finally get started on that at-home matcha bar you’ve been talking about. 4/11 - Get in the spring spirit as @senescencela teaches you the art of floral design. 4/30 - Or join me at the end of the month to tattoo a mug as the sun sets. Could be nice. See you in the backhouse.
