Slow down, get your hands muddy & your heart full
Do you need a calming contrast to the hecticness that this time of year tends to bring?
Join me for a delightful and restful Sunday afternoon of clay and creativity!
We will enjoy hot cups of tea and delicious afternoon nibbles, and slowly create a few beautiful ornaments from slabs of clay.
-
We’ll spend the workshop at Earth Temple in Daajing Giids.
The space has:
a single stall, gender neutral bathroom
armless, padded folding chairs
ground level entry
-
This workshop is open for complete beginners to pottery.
It is suitable for ages 14+.
I strive for my workshops to be a safe and welcoming environment for all genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations and abilities.
-
The workshop will begin at 1:30pm, which works well to catch the 12:30pm ferry over if coming from Sandspit.
We’ll start by going over the basics of the ceramic process and then tackling the handbuilding of our ornaments.There will be warm beverages and an afternoon snack to enjoy.
Once the clay has set up a bit, edges will be softened, and finishing touches completed.
You’ll choose your favourite 3 ornaments to have fired and finished.
Our time together will finish around 3:30pm, in time to catch the 4pm ferry sailing back to Alliford Bay.
Once the ornaments have fully dried, I will fire them twice and glaze them your choice of translucent glaze.
Your pieces should be ready within 2 weeks of the workshop, and will be available for pickup at my studio (or a TBA time in Daajing Giids). Delivery can be arranged for an additional cost.
