TACO TUESDAY is coming to Merced’s Only Public Pottery Studio 🌮

In this month’s edition of Adult ClayClub, we’re handbuilding ceramic taco stands—because balancing three tacos on a dinner plate is a problem we simply don’t need to live with anymore 🙂‍↔️

We’ll provide the clay, tools, instruction, and all the good Taco Tuesday vibes. Your ticket also includes sangria + ce***za, plus snacks like chips and salsa & guacamole to munch on while you create.

No experience needed—just come ready to make something fun, sip something tasty, and spend the evening with some pretty great people.

📅 Tuesday, August 18 @ 6p
📍Downtown Merced Partnership
