Service Description

This Hand Building Workshop is more than just playing with the clay, it's about connecting with fellow human beings in fun, chilled safe space where you can be yourself and let your creativity blossom. There are a lot of lonely people out there looking to connect, so how about you do it while making something fabulous as you learn a new skill, we mingle over drinks and food and hopefully you will make a new friend. Best way to escape our minds and stop the continual dialogue in our heads. And you get to make something fabulous. For a very relaxing evening session of playing with clay and forgetting about the world for a few hours, I will teach you the fundamental basic techniques of hand building in order to make small/medium vessels, vases or salt pigs using pinch pots and a selection of small dishes and spoons as well as jewellery/soap dishes, using a slab of clay. We will cover a little bit of surface treatment for those who wish to work with underglazes. All clay and glazes and firing are Stoneware, which means very functional and can go in the dishwasher, microwave, oven and air fryer if it is made thick enough and with the right clay. clay is stoneware and the glazes are food safe which means they are functional ware to be eaten off and they can go in the dishwasher, microwave and oven. Pottery needs to be completely dry before it is bisque fired I will then apply the glaze and its is fired again, so it can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks to be ready to pick up. When it's ready I will let you know. $90 per person (gst included) Simply book in to secure your spot.
