unwind, create, connect
Spend a Sunday morning sipping tea & shaping slabs of clay into a duo of delightful little flower vases!
Registration will open Tuesday, April 21st (with early access to those folks on my Studio News email list).

We’ll spend the workshop in the bright art room at ALM elementary school in K’il Kun (Sandspit).
The space has:
two single stall, gender neutral bathrooms
sturdy, but small, armless chairs
a large set of stairs at entry
-
This workshop is open for complete beginners to pottery.
It is suitable for ages 16+.
I strive for my workshops to be a safe and welcoming environment for all genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations and abilities.
-
We’ll start by going over the basics of the ceramic process and then tackling the handbuilding of our little vases.
There will be beverages and a platter of nibbles to enjoy.
Once the clay has set up a bit, we’ll add carved designs, edges will be softened, and finishing touches completed.
Our time together will finish around 12:30pm.
Once the vases have completely dried, I will fire them twice and glaze them your choice of glaze.
Your piece should be ready within 4-6 weeks of the workshop, and will be available for pickup at my studio (or at a TBA time in Daajing Giids).
For folks coming from Graham Island: I’ve timed the workshop for the ferry to Alliford Bay at 9:30am, and the one back to Graham Island departing at 1:30pm. -

“The [workshop] was a fantastic experience!
Amber created a lovely, calm learning environment for all levels, with many practical and visual examples and demonstrations... I would highly recommend any of her workshops to anyone interested in dipping their toes into a new craft, or those looking to rekindle an old hobby.”
