This workshop requires no experience.

 

Join us for a welcoming and creative pottery experience as we explore the art of handbuilding with clay.

 

In this two-part workshop, you’ll be guided through foundational techniques including coil building, slab rolling, and sculpting to create your own functional pieces—such as cups, bowls, vases, or simple sculptures. The first session focuses on building and forming your pieces, while the second session is dedicated to glazing, where you’ll add colour and finish your work before it is kiln-fired.

 

Whether you’re brand new to clay or looking to reconnect with creating, this workshop offers a relaxed and supportive environment to learn, experiment, and make something truly your own.

 

All materials, tools, and firings are included.
