COVET Ceramics Napa Valley is a handmade pottery studio run by founder Danielle Eastman from her home studio in Napa. Eastman moved to Napa with her family in 2020, left a job at a winery, and built a studio where she now works full time as a ceramic artist. A profile by Napa's Juniper Station describes her style as minimalist and organic, drawn to exposed brown clays and natural tones, and notes she recently completed a large ceramics contract for Bella Union Winery.
The fall 2026 workshop calendar gives visitors a hands-on alternative to the tasting room circuit. Upcoming sessions at the COVET Home Studio include a Pet Dish Workshop on October 9, a Garlic Keeper Workshop on October 10, a Chip and Dip Platter Workshop on November 6, a Lantern Workshop on November 7, and a Cookie Plate and Milk Cup Workshop on November 13, followed by an Ornament Workshop on December 4 and a Gift Tag Workshop on December 5. Classes are beginner friendly and open to ages 12 and up, with the December sessions welcoming ages 7 and up. Workshop prices typically range from $65 to $150, and sessions include complimentary beverages and light snacks.

COVET handles the firing, and finished work is ready for pickup in two to three weeks. Beyond her own studio, Eastman has taught a modern-approach kintsugi class at Juniper Station in Napa, the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold, a sign of a community presence that extends past her workshop schedule.
