In this workshop we will delve into the world of electric kilns, home studios and all the nooks and crannies along the way.

I’ll be talking through and demonstrating the basics of firing an electric kiln, including loading techniques for bisque and glaze, changing elements, an overview of the firing process and answering any and all questions including but not limited to stacking techniques, cones, kiln wash, setting up a home studio, loading small scale to large scale work, etc.

Tide pooling!!! 🪸🐠🌅

Our first studio field trip 🥰 birthed out of a manifestation by one of our members a few weeks prior. This member led trip gathered a group of 20 studio members and friends to venture down to San Pedro at 7am on a Sunday. It was soooooooo sweet we’re still beaming from it.

We’ve got lots more trips planned and most of it comes to fruition in our studio Discord, it’s so sweet and the link to join it is in our bio.

As we enter 6 years of Sooki, seeing these kids of relationships, community and joy form brings big big heart thumps 🥹🥰😭

Big thanks to for leading the trip, for being the logistics queen and to for letting me borrow her camera to capture so many sweet moments and for taking a picture of me in my total happy place just as I started to overheat

BIG LOVE TO THE SOOKI COMMUNITY!!!

Kites for Liberation: An Anti-War Kite Workshop 🪁🍉

Taught by Yaeun Stevie Choi |

Sunday, May 3rd from 4-7pm
Masks required | ADA accessible

2971 Allesandro St, Frogtown LA

In partnership with .project
Profits donated to

Join artist Yaeun Stevie Choi for a hands-on kite-making workshop rooted in cultural practice, collective care, and creative resistance. Since 2018, Stevie has been researching, building, and teaching kite-making as a form that embodies regional artistry, play, freedom, and a reclaiming of the sky in the face of its privatization and militarization.

This workshop is conceived and co-hosted by artist Evelyn Serrano | , who has been working with the Lebanese-Palestinian kite form as a gesture of solidarity, including the creation of a kite honoring Palestinian poet and educator Refaat Alareer and the liberation of the Palestinian people. In this iteration, participants are invited to create kites in support of Palestine, Lebanon, and other communities impacted by war, violence, and displacement—reflecting on the role of the U.S. in these global realities.

Participants will learn to construct a Lebanese-Palestinian-style kite that will be completed and ready to fly by the end of the session. The workshop will culminate in an invitation to gather as a collective and fly these kites at the upcoming Kite Festival at LA State Historic Park on May 9, from 2–6 pm. Together, we will lift messages of remembrance, resistance, and hope into the sky.

〰️〰️〰️
Yaeun Stevie Choi (they/she) is an artist based in Koreatown, Los Angeles, who have been making, researching, and holding workshops on kites since their interest began in 2018.

They believe building kites can represent appreciation for regional artistry, play and freedom, and resistance against the privatization and militarization of the sky. Choi dedicates their kitemaking knowledge to a group of kite masters on an online Korean kitemakers forum, Youtubers, and kitemaking friends here in Los Angeles.
