This Christmas season, San Pedro has a brand-new art space.
And wait’ll you hear about the creative (and very cool) community outreach project they’re sponsoring.
The new creative space is Seaside Studios San Pedro, which opened in April of this year. They have classes, a gallery and studio time available–and judging from their Facebook page, they’re really creating some gorgeous ceramics, jewelry and fabric art. You’re invited to come by, see what they have and maybe do some early Christmas shopping at their gallery.

Their special project, though, is called “Empty Bowls”, and is in addition to all of this.
From now until Christmas, Seaside Studios San Pedro will have open-studio Saturdays, where they’d like you to come in, for free, and glaze a bowl for firing in their kiln. Once the bowl’s fired, it’s included in the price of admission to a “Soup Supper”, scheduled for early February, where proceeds go to Harbor Interfaith Shelter to feed the hungry.
I’ll look forward to giving you more information on their upcoming classes as we get closer to Christmas! Meanwhile, you’re cordially invited to bring your talent and come help them give back.
Seaside Studios San Pedro are located at 525 North Harbor Boulevard, near North Beacon Street, in San Pedro. They’re Suite #3, on the second floor, and are located just across from the cruise ship terminal and the dancing fountains. According to their Facebook page, they’re having open-studio hours from 10 am to 3 pm, every Saturday from now till Christmas.
