Workshop Details

In this clay workshop, you’ll learn to handbuild a ceramic bear vase from brown stoneware clay.

After sculpting, you’ll book a second session to come back and paint on any little details you'd like, and add shine to the inside! We’ll fire it in our kiln again, ready to take home and enjoy after that!

Timeline

1. Build & Sculpt: 1.5 hours of instruction. Create using our high fire clay and we will dry and fire the clay in the kiln.

2. Glaze: Return to the studio to add the beautiful glazes. Book at least one week after your build date. We recommend booking 1-1.5 hours, depending on the amount of detail :)

Book Glazing

3. Pick Up: We will fire it again in the kiln. In approximately 10 days after glazing, it’ll be ready for pick up.

Workshop FAQs

Stoneware Clay 101

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay.
