Get prepared for winter power-outages, and restful, candlelit evenings.
Embrace the darkness of November and join me for a cozy evening of muddy hands. We will use stoneware clay to handbuild a candlestick holder, with the option to use a variety of surface decoration techniques to express and explore our creativity.
SCHEDULE
We’ll spend the workshop in the cozy and welcoming kitchen of Bayview Garden in K’il Kun (Sandspit), first going over the basics of the ceramic process and then tackling the handbuilding of our candlestick holders.
Mid-way through we’ll need to take a break to allow the pieces to dry slightly. There will be beverages and snacks available to enjoy as we wait. Once the clay has set up a bit, handles will be added, edges softened, and finishing touches completed.
Our time together will finish around 9:15pm.
There is a ferry back to Graham Island departing at 10pm. Booking a room for the night at Bayview Garden would also be a wonderful option if you’re planning to attend my Sunday morning workshop!
Once the holders have completely dried, I will fire them twice and glaze them your choice of my main glaze colours.
Your piece should be ready within 4-6 weeks of the workshop, and will be available for pickup at my studio (or shipped for an additional charge).
