Join us for an immersive ceramic hand-building workshop, perfect for beginners and anyone eager to explore the art of clay. In this 2.5-hour session, you will be introduced to the three fundamental hand-building techniques:

✨ Coil Building – Create organic and structured shapes by stacking and blending coils.
✨ Slab Building – Use flat sheets of clay to construct forms, ideal for plates, boxes, or sculptural pieces.
✨ Pinch Pot – A simple yet effective technique to shape small vessels using just your hands.

You are welcome to come with an idea in mind or simply let your creativity flow as you shape and mold your first ceramic piece. Our experienced instructor will guide you through each step, from building to refining your work, ensuring a fun and inspiring experience.

At the end of the workshop, all pieces will be fired in our kiln and glazed with a transparent glaze. As soon as they are ready, we will contact you for pickup. Please note that this process may take up to 2 weeks.
