All Ages Workshops | Clay Nest Art Studio

Create + Connect

Women's Circle

Biweekly | Sundays 2:00–3:30pm

Beginning May 17th

There is something quietly powerful about women gathering together — to slow down, to create, to be witnessed.

The Women's Circle — Create + Connect is a biweekly Sunday afternoon gathering rooted in art, gentle intention, and community.

Each session is held outdoors at Wildflower Park in Ranchlands, beautifully set with tea, natural materials, and a guided art activity to anchor you into the present moment. Woven through the afternoon is space for shared story, a soft guided breath, and the simple pleasure of making something with your hands alongside other women.

This is a place to feel held. To feel inspired. To reconnect with your creativity, with yourself, and with the women around you.

We hold the intention to gather outdoors, and will move into the Clay Nest studio in Ranchlands when Calgary weather has other plans.

$33 per person | $55 for two

Capacity of 12

Handbuilding Pottery Workshop: Functional Forms

All Ages (Recommended 6+)

Part 1: Thursday, June 25th | 6:00–8:00 PM

Part 2: Thursday July 30th | 6:00–8:00 PM

$110 per person (includes both sessions)

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.
